Space Time Alarm Clock (for Pedestrians Only!)

 

A clock that gives you the sense of where you are in space time!

 

Space Time Alarm Clock (STAC) is an Android application designed by a KTH research group to help you get to a destination in time with minimal interaction. It does so by continuously 1) identifying possible moves from your current location, 2) showing, for each move, how long it will take to reach the destination if it is taken, and 3) alerting when no move will lead you to the destination in time.
