For some reason, the first thing I thought of was replacing the standard car dashboard dials with these! You can position the screens in whatever layout you want, not to mention having customizable speedometer or fuel/battery gauge. You will be able to have a way to add almost any sensor to you dashboard as well.
Same here, but it's tough to find anything in a decent size and OLED. Don't thinkt the backlight is so nice for during the night. Unless you were able to find a good, larger, oled model ?
already done. and its more easily and cheaper to use one regular display. these displays are used for specialised use, like watches or displays in special cases.
I would love to build one in with an ADS-B virtual radar display. So a little handheld device that shows you aircraft within your immediate vicinity based on their ADS-B data.
Waow I love the idea of a round themed clamshell phone, that'd be *sick* nostalgia with a twist! It would require quite a bit of bodywork for it to look and feel like an old phone tho
A fake telescope, when you move it around you change the view on the display, like that sky app. Excellent ice breaker for visitors. Another more useful idea could be a door viewer, like those little lenses in hotel rooms, but you put a fish-eye cam in your front door and the display in any door of the house.
I'm not even a gamer, but was thinking it would be great inside the telescopic gunsight of a toy AR for gamers, with your suggested motion detector. Full disclosure, I hate that kids are being weened on violent VR kill zones, becoming desensitized while receiving dopamine rewards for their highest kill scores, then becoming skilled weapons experts and teenaged mass murderers. JS
I think it would be a fun project to find a way to make one of the small ones into basically a wearable pin that you can have a moving picture or even just change what you're showing on a whim, I would wear that all the time lol
@@MrVolt its been three weeks so slim chance you see this, but, I think you could even give it its own wifi or some other type of connection so that you could send an image to it on the fly, wirelessly.
You could use the large display as a face of a character in a 'hoodie', the face can be good or evil or trasition from good to evil Though it would be cool if the character could move around by remote control too.
I keep thinking about how being round makes it seem so… portal like. Like imagine decorating the outside with stones or making it look like a star gate. Then program the pi to randomly connect to twitch streamers or webcam feeds, so it’s like you’ve got a little portal into another world just hanging on your wall. Heck, if you just had it run a game of Minecraft that would look cool.
These would make a sick upgrade to smart meters for the likes of flight sims, and other equipment where a traditional needle gauge is used, but you want to be able to change the display / meter for different applications!! Also, for really nice looking dash UI's in cars where the speedomoter goes - changing colours to suit the car, the mood, day vs night, etc... Possibilities are endless! I always wanted to do something like this for a car...
Nice overview! By the way: the smartphone science fiction drawing at 13:45 is a collectible by "Echte Wagner Margarine", a german butter substitute company. There are several companies in the 1930s who did something like that, you may enjoy the postcards by "Hildebrands Schokoladenfabriken" as well.
These round displays would be amazing in a handheld magic mirror (like from a fairy tale). 3D print a frame/handle with a very ornate design, and put a 2-way mirror in front of the screen (when the display is black you only see the mirror, but text pictures that appear on the screen will shine through).
I was thinking something similar. Either the theatrical mask from Shrek or the eyes and smile of the cat from Alice in Wonderland. But I was thinking it would be used to augment a voice service like Alexa, Google, or any other flavor of voice assistance on the market.
Oh, as a project idea: absolutely overkill, but you could pop two of the watch screen sized ones onto some glasses, and then mount some kind of HMD on the other side - like, slap these on a vuzix headset or something to give you 'eyes' or something like what Rezz wears! :P
I really have been thinking of getting a GPS module attached to a Arduino or Pi and a small display, then house it all into a rugged case for a digital atlas for hiking. These round edges would actually fair better in a drop test, than a corner impact on a standard display.
I was thinking of using it for either a retrofit into an antique console clock or a topper for a video pinball machine or even in a bell jar or fishbowl to give you a "floating head" crystal ball ala haunted mansion. Super cool. Can't wait to get one for myself!
Hey, these might be great application for playing around with "Anamorphosis" You know, those distorted images that can only be seen properly with a special cylindrical or conical mirror.
I'm so glad you made this video I've been looking at these displays for a while now but wanted more info before purchasing one. I'd like to make the compact communicator from Carmen Sandiego probably with two of the 3.4" ones
The horror/prop-making community would probably love a reproduction of the clamshell e-reader from It Follows. I've been looking at round displays myself for animated eyes on a mask.
Those bigger round displays look like they're used in car dashboards. Some luxury cars have "multifunction displays" as their speedometer. I bet that could help you or someone on the quest for docs.
Some of those to be retrofitted as a gauge cluster in an old car. Looks old and time acurate, but with a flip of a button you can see info as oiltemp, rev, voltage, boost, GPS and other car-stuff. Not all people want square digital clusters.
800x600 centered would still look awesome , someone had the idea first to put the screen behind a thin mirror so you could have those devices used in the comics, today. I think it also has a ring light for makeup but integrated with the screen/mirror. I think having one for a door hole would be neat for those who don't want or cant have a company owned video doorbell system. just attaches to the back of the door and blows up the through hole image to a size that's more manageable.
I purchased the large 5 inch display. One thing to note is that the display has a 04 written on it for some reason. Also the buttons have two functions. One will change the aspect ratio of the display. The other changes the brightness of the lcd.
Two related ideas: an AR hand mirror that uses a fisheye lens and pupil tracking to render the scene from appropriate angles, and an AR magnifying glass that does the same but for the scene in front of it rather than a "reflection".
Thanks for sharing your research! I have plans for one of these for a custom modern Ghostbusters PKE Meter, so that will allow me to hit the ground running.
It would be absolutely awesome if you made a pair of farnsworths from warehouse 13 and have a peer to peer video communication. Also I believe that illustration at the end is from an old issue of electrical experimenter magazine. (But I could be wrong.)
I think you read my mind. I wanted a Linux watch, Android is Linux so I knew it was a bit easier. My Samsung Galaxy Watch Active was closed source and hard to reverse engineer. It took me a million years until this video got recommended to me before thinking about buying the the Zero 2 W. I would like to thank you for uploading such a video. Subscribed.
Hope your “screen saver” is not a fixed image. Seems counterintuitive. As a wallpaper it would be nice. These are really nice displays, I’m having all sorts of ideas to use them!
Looking at the screensaver i suddenly got an idea of a screen that shows a 3d model of a planet and you can rotate that planet around by rotating the actual display using a gyroscope/accelerometer.
I'm looking into round displays to make a nice pepper's ghost hologram illusion with a glass dome on top. But I can see many fun round screen projects.
Great informative showcase of components!😀 Would love to see more videos like these in the future if you have the need/opportunity in future projects (components, tools, development kits, etc.)! It's stretching the boundaries a bit, but using one of the smaller 1" displays with one of the 5" displays to create a DHD and Stargate that communicate and animate with each other would be pretty friggin epic! (bonus points if you can use a capacitive touch display for the DHD and make it functional as a DHD to dial an actual address on the larger display stargate!)
Little off topic but one project ive always wanted to do is create a small "old style" tv 3d print and have it 24/7 play episode by episode of tv shows that I like. One of the challenges I face with this project would be how to program some random 3-6 inch LCD display to play video and have it play one episode after another. Seeing that some of these simply have a HDMI port makes it a little simpler but has sparked the flame for me to start this process.
I like the idea of making the phone thing from the science magazine. I've seen that image used over the years to show how close they were in predicting cell phones. If you made a couple actually capable of video calls then the prediction would finally be fulfilled!
Honestly, I came here because I saw the Ghost In The Shell laughing man symbol. Guess I should watch the video now, because I'd love to use a round display on a project.
i imagine it would be great for a submarine exhibit, as like, an interactive porthole display at an aquarium and a giant squid comes near the screen or something
Thank you for this video! I always love the idea of radial and circular UI. In fact I wrote an experimental UI based on circles and zoom navigation (zircle-ui). Right now I’m working on a new css library focused just on radial and circular grids. This video show me that maybe this future library has a niche on round lcd. What tools or libraries do you use to create GUI for round lcd?
I have been wanting to make a Digital pocket watch. I bought a antique one a long time ago, I may need to pickup that smallest display. Thanks for laying these all out.
I'm surprised that we haven't gotten these as alternatives to smartphones and smartwatches. Can't wear a watch and you want more power? Smart pocketwatch is the solution! I think we all want a handheld round smartwatch with GPS and internet for radar and maps, photos and videos, rotary phone dialing with touch screen, maybe a 5x-10x telescopic lens on the back to give you a monocular!
This would be awesome for smart home, replacing switches, and you can control multiple things with one really easy, like, swipe to side to change from light to temperature. Swipe again to see front porch camera, sound setting in living room, or even the WiFi interface or home cloud, it would be awesome. I even think that people would pay for that kind of smart home, i never seen anything like that.
Maybe a tiny night clock projector with a just one lens and a small round oled that projects a really dim analog clock on the wall when you wake up at night :)
I love the idea of turning one into a GPS the looks like a dragon rader. But it needs to be combined with an electric skateboard (or longboard) that is decked out to look like the flying nimbus.
All i can think about are those 40s/50s circle TVs (like your ZENITHs and Philcos (the ones that inspired fallouts tvs), and your early 60s Panasonics and bubble "space" tvs)
The 2 things I can think of that I would like to do with one of these are: 1. Interactive Miss Minutes from the Loki series on Disney+. That would be cool to have an all in one unit that was interactive that you could talk to like Siri. Add a motion camera and it can follow you around with eyes and be all creepy like. 2. Replace and 100% customizable dash board display in your car. Get 2 of the 3.4 or 5 inch ones for Tach and Speedometer and some smaller ones for oil pressure, fuel, alternator voltage. You could customize them to anything you wanted to output and display different backgrounds on them to match the style of your car. Would be interesting to see.
Now we a GUI layer for an OS that natively doesn't have corners - Microsoft Circles (except not Microsoft please)
Like Android Wear?
@@Craft4Cube Sure, but a desktop OS
@@AtomicShrimp what's your definition of "desktop os"? I'm sure someone already made something like Android Wear x86

@@peepopalaber Sure its easier and cheaper to use a rectangular display. But it wont integrate as nicely as a round one.
@@Elmarvan94 his point is, it does. newer Mazda dashboards do this. The plastic trim hides the fact that the screen is rectangular.

The Farnsworth communication device from the show Warehouse 13 would be perfect for these screens!
Ok, I'm finally going to watch this show. I love the design of that communicator!

Hello, when I saw that display for the first time, first idea with this display was Portal 2 character like Cores or turret.
