The Persistence of Vision (POV) Watch is a watch which creates the illusion of floating time while the wrist is swinging (such as when running).
It works by creating a sequence of LED patterns that when displayed in a fast moving environment shuch as your wrist moving back and forth it creates the illusion that a solid image is floating in thin air. To achieve this the watch uses a PIC16LF628A Microchip controller along with a mercury switch to detect the direction of motion. By displaying the image in one direction and then in the reverse direction it makes a solid floating image in the air. Kind of cool!
