Sundial: The Hawaii Collection Upgrade

Sundial is a software program that displays time-lapse photography on your computer desktop behind all windows and icons. After you install and configure Sundial, it will automatically display an image from the scene you selected every time you start your computer, then update it periodically over the course of the day. The exact image displayed at any moment depends on the current time of day, the date, and your geographic location. Sundial calculates the time of sunrise, sunset, dawn, and dusk at your location and arranges for these events to occur at the same time on your computer. Sundial can also display still pictures on your desktop that do not change. Sundial movies come on CD-ROM in high-quality 24 bpp color in three sizes (640 x 480, 832 x 624, and 1,024 x 768) for maximum display quality on different monitor sizes. Larger sizes are also available for a nominal charge. The movies display a new image every five minutes for an entire 24 hours, and the transition between the images is smooth and virtually instantaneous.

This version of Sundial features 10 scenes from Hawaii, including the City of Refuge, a view overlooking the Na Pali coast, Waikiki Beach, and Oahu Beach. Each scene contains 24 hours worth of images, which you can preview in seconds prior to selecting your favorite scene.
