I think I know why these look so attractive:
e-ink is the perfect blend between technology (screen can display whatever you want) and the analogue/physical world (it looks like a piece of paper which you can put in a wooden frame and interact with).
Another example for me is the “Buddha Machine” by FM3 (https://www.fm3buddhamachine.com https://www.fm3buddhamachine.com): it’s basically a box that plays some ambient loops (technology) but it looks like a small and unthreatening transistor radio with nice tactile buttons (physical).
- bofh23 5y agoThis desktop dashboard with three analog panel meters is gorgeous: Ambient Executive Dashboard | Uncrate https://uncrate.com/ambient-executive-dashboard/ https://uncrate.com/ambient-executive-dashboard/ A new version that uses WiFi instead of a defunct paging network would be nice. Plans to mod original ones so the meters could be driven by a micro-controller or Raspberry Pi would be cool.
