The weather station gives you everyday information that is beamed directly to your wall or ceiling. The dual projection provides atomic time and weather information in two separate and adjustable infrared projections. In addition to the time and temperature, a weather forecast icon is also projected.

“The new dual projection weather station is such a marvelous convenience for any consumer,” said Jim Boyle, president of Hideki Electronics, marketers of the system under the Honeywell brand name. “Having the option to glance up at the time, outdoor temperature and 12-24 hour forecast icon so that you can be well-informed about your surrounding is a convenience that is reliable and comforting.”

The weather station embeds its technology in a flat-touch keypad and LCD display. A weather graphic image display and temperature is relayed to the unit wirelessly from an indoor/outdoor long-range sensor. The information can then be projected for display.

It can monitor weather in as many as three locations.

Weather forecast graphics include: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, light rain, heavy rain, snow and unstable weather.

Additional features include automatic adjustment to the room’s light level, precise time within a millionth of a second and guaranteed to automatically adjust to daylight savings time, dual alarm and multilingual display.

The weather station retails for $70.
