It would just mess with my perception of the horizontal sundial it's meant to mimic. And NiteWhite, glad to see your comments are still as asinine as ever.

Gravity doesn't affect light, in the small magnitudes that are found in regular planets and suns. I suppose it wouldn't work right near a black hole, but not much will... ted - it should work in any orientation, vertical, horizontal or tilted.

Probably only works in a darkened room, and possibly not on a vertical surface. Still an interesting idea. Looks great. Probably only works in a darkened room, and possibly not on a vertical surface.

You get multiple shadows on many things in real life depending on light. Plus, this is just a concept. They're going to get the kinks out and try to make it work.

You will still get shadows. This is due to the fact that in some areas you are getting 3x light and in other areas you are only getting 2x light. So some spots will be shaded from a third light.

It simply doesn't work in real life. The light of one bulb will constantly affect the shadow of the others bulb.

It seems like it would be possible to make it with lower-profile light arms if the clock face were concave, which would streamline the clunky proportions a bit. A watch version where the light arms folded out would be beyond awesome. This is such a great concept (and that’s all it is right now, apparently).
