I think the price is right for a small business that is trying to catch someone's eye. Very unique and more subtle than a LCD display. I could see it in a coffee shop or a tap-room.

I would love a smaller version for my home office. Not sure what I would use it for. Maybe some app monitoring info.

And ear.

These things are loud. It is actually a feature in airports and train stations, as it signals that the board is updating and it is worth taking a look, in case there is a delay or something.

But if you don't want a loud notification, these things may get old very quickly.


Building one sounds like a pretty fun project!
