Here's something I've been working on on-and-off for a long time. I figured i'd shove a demo out there to see what you guys think. The design isn't mine and it from Max's awesome Flip Clock PSD available here
My work has been in trying to make this think work as great as it looks ;). ALL the animates are done with 100% CSS 3D transforms. Because of this this demo is highly experimental and only works in Safari and the dev version of Chrome (v11 just added hardware accelerated CSS).
Javascript is only used to control timing and stuff.
It seem's Chrome has someway to go on the 3d transforms front before it's caught up with Safari.
Once again, please view in a recent version of Safari ;)
I need to fix some of my clock logic and the JS is currently a mess, but hey I said it was experimental so ;). If anyone want's to give me a hand with finishing the clock logic that would be great else I'm sure i will get round to it just as soon as I graduate...
When I watched it in action though it seemed a bit like there should be some division between the individual numbers. The coding and animation are spot on though, I'd only recommend that very minor aesthetic addition.
Hi Nathan, yes i took thought that. However at the time of experimenting I was simply using the great PSD by Max (above). My focus was on nailing the animation. In the future I'f love to make this skin able but I really need to sort the clock logic out first ;). After that my next step was going to be making it look awesome on the iPad ;).

Very swish.
