Have you ever designed something ridiculous like this?
« on: August 28, 2014, 12:33:00 am »
Well, I watched yet another crazy video from Japan. This time about a device with a very useful function :scared:. So I thought what the engineers were thinking while designing this stuff and got their brilliant ideas how to achieve such a goal :)?

I'm not seeing a problem.  ;D

Lookup 'The Weatherwoman' movie from Japan.

Typical Japan... but it's a pretty amusing way to get people to aim correctly.

Here is how they present the weather in Hungary. It's one of the few things I miss about the country:

This one seems to be about the quantity, not precision  :)

It's another solution to improve aiming to keep the floor dry, not the first and probably not the last.  ;-)

What's new in this engineering solution is that the user actually looks up at the screen which can have negative impact the aiming. On the other hand it provides much stronger incentive.

This one definitely is not about the accuracy :).
