Decades ahead of it's time - Casio AT-552 Janus

An ordinary looking watch that hides something quite extraordinary and decades ahead of it's time.

Casio AT-552 "Janus" was a gesture controlled touchscreen calculator watch - from 1984!



Even Microsoft referred to it for inspiration: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/ ... spx?id=227

I didn't know such a thing existed. Pretty cool function. I wish they had made it aesthetically more distinctive. Thanks for sharing!
