I’m sure I could learn to read this as quickly as any other clock, given practice. I saw one 45 years ago on the mantel in someone’s house. My nerdy teenage friend had learned how to read it and taught me. I didn’t have one to practice with, and quickly forgot. Forty-five years later, and I’ve never seen another one.
This display, as a clock interface for humans, makes no sense in the real world. Outside of showing it to people as a novelty.
If you want a cool clock that anyone can read, get a nixie tube clock.
