It would be fun to have it on phones. Can you make an Android app? ;-)
I'm not entirely sure why this is being downvoted. It would make a pretty cool clock widget.

#22Wow, that's awesome. Reminds me of Timely Alarm Clock[1] which I use every day and still tout as probably the single most beautiful Android app ever.
However, for this Bézier clock, it would be more practical if the animation was finished before it had to change again, so that we could read the numbers.

I _love_ timely. It's the first app I install if I ever need to reinstall my Android OS.
So pretty.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
The 4 actually becomes its true form at 40 (read the text below the clock), so what you were seeing was not 48 but rather 38.
Yes. Perhaps hitting the optimum form at 45 would be ideal. So 4 would start becoming clearer at 40 and then start degenerating after 45.
Or change the motion curve so that it stays in the recognizable state for longer, like 90% of the time.

#26I propose a new sport: Bezier clock golf, in which we try to construct a readable clock using the fewest number of control points. Current par is 5.

#27My crappy addition to clocks: http://myoldclock.appspot.com/
Did it in about 12 hours for a Google I/O competition 3 years ago. It's a countdown clock instead of a normal clock, but similar idea.

cool challenge, but how do you do less than 5 bezier points for the numeral 8?
Re: Bézier Clock
#29Pretty Cool! I wonder if it's possible / how hard it would be to port to Pebble.
probably not that hard, but the resolution is pretty low.
Re: Bézier Clock
#30I wonder what it would look like with interpolation pathways that minimize the amount of bending
