See your own coast

Until now you've had to take our word for what Wavepane looks like. Now you don't. There's a live demo at wavepane.com/demo — type a town on the water and watch the tide for that coast rise or fall through its next turn.

It isn't a picture of the product. It's the product's own screen, running in your browser, drawn by the very same thing that draws the one on the wall. The water level is where the water actually is. Start somewhere you know, and check it against the window.

Any coast in the world. Maine, Cornwall, Brittany, New South Wales — pick one you know.

On pre-orders: still no date. The frame and the electronics are in their last rounds, and we would rather be late than wrong. When there is a date, it will arrive in your inbox — you won't have to go looking for it.

Alive on the wall

The short version: Wavepane works. Prototypes have been hanging on our walls for months — waking every half hour, checking the ocean, redrawing the tide, and slipping back to sleep so gently the battery barely notices. When we make something better, the frames quietly update themselves. No cables, no apps, nothing to do but glance.

What's left is the part you'll actually hold. The electronics inside and the frame around them are in their final rounds of refinement, and the next step is beta units on walls other than our own.

We won't commit to a date until we can keep it — so no date yet, just momentum. In the meantime, if you're tempted by a tide clock that guesses or a gadget that needs an outlet: hold out. There's nothing else quite like this. That's rather the point.
