Just assembled the prototype for DC-6 clock.
It is not that easy to convert mentally from DC-6 to conventional time, as it requires multiply each digit by 2 and mod with 60. For example the time shown on the photo of the prototype is 2:4 wich can be translated to 4h80m which in turn is 5:20 in conventional time.
It's quite hard to make such conversion mentally and this is intentional. A different time standard requires a different way of thinking, that is the same reason which lead to the use of symbols instead of digits.
On the prototype I made the display run the digits fast just to get the feeling of the digits changing.
I think it's cool!
