Learn a new thing every day of the year with the On This Day Calendar.
At first the calendar simply looks like a neat rainbow of colors, but each of these shades is actually heat sensitive and will reveal a fact. Touching one of the black blocks above each color of the day will make it disappear and a historical fact will appear in its place.
Learning things like which day Thomas Edison patented the light bulb is only just the beginning; let the On This Day Calendar teach you the rich history of the past.
Implications - Looking for more than just an aesthetically pleasing art piece, modern consumers want to make purchases that feature an intellectually stimulating element. Integrating a deeper meaning to everyday designs could help a company attract more shoppers.
