Topic: Sliding Timers..... Props and Apps/Phone Interfaces etc.

Yeah I bet you thought this would be the Thread I mentioned a little while ago for Crossover or Alternate Universe Timers eh?

Not so much. Although..... It could have some Bearing/Relevance.

I'll start off with this Link as it saves me having to do all of the Contents from scratch. http://www.earth62.net/timer/timerpage.htm

So.... Those are the Canon Timers. Quinn's Basement Project, A Pharoah's Plaything/Tool, Govt Project and an Ambitious Corporate Scientists Test Model.

I love the Originals and I have a special fondness for the Home Made Scratch Build Timers that Fans make both of Canon Series Timers as seen here....

But also of AU Model Timers like this...

I'm very interested in whether or not a Phone App to give our Handsets the "Timer Treatment" might be available or something we can make ourselves though?

The Jenson Timer from Exodus onwards was famously a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Controller too so I wonder what other Console Joypads or other Electronic Toys/Gadgets might make a good Timer with some effort?

The Sega Dreamcast Pad would probably be the easiest due to it's Modular Nature and Display Screen/VMU option but the N64 Joypad could be fun to modify with its three Handle Grips and Central Grip with Trigger Button.

Thoughts Guys and Girls?

Re: Sliding Timers..... Props and Apps/Phone Interfaces etc.

The Fallout Pip Boy 3000 Props that are being used in concert with Touch Screen Phones come to mind readily like on the Link below....

Or like in these Pics....

Have any Sliders Fans tried to make some kind of Timer Themed Frame/Phone Holder Prop to merge with a Touch Screen Phone that has/could have a Timer Style App like above?

If not.... Why Not! big_smile

The Fallout Pip Boy Props certainly show though that in Theory a Pip Boy Modded as a Timer could work. smile

Maybe....

Re: Sliding Timers..... Props and Apps/Phone Interfaces etc.

I've seen a phone app for the timer. For Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … &hl=en

There's one for iPhone as well apparently.

I do like that very AU model timer! Also the Pip Boy style one. That'd work really well in some of the grittier sci-fi scenarios of season 4... or maybe on a Commander Wade Wells.

Sorry, I just can't get over that awesome idea from ireactions.

Ah thanks! smile

Downloading now. Just hope it is not too glitchy.

Tempted to get a Fallout Pip Boy U.I. App or Star Trek LCARS App too ^_^"

Yeah I really like the idea of an Atom Punk Timer.... And the Pip Boy can do a good job as such a Timer.

Heres hoping some other Aesthetics and Tech Levels can be explored for AU Timers eh? smile

Wase Welles as a Revolutionary Leader is an idea very ripe for expanding upon isn't it? wink

Aw.... I am sad. sad

Timer App is not working properly. The Numbers and Control Buttons and Green Bar animations all overlap over each other and seem squish stacked?

Not sure if just my Samsung Galaxy Ace so will Bluetooth it to my new Alcatel later and see if it works better on that.

Ok that is seriously weird.
