Pentru a controla interfata Apple Watch, compania Apple ne ofera optiunea de a utiliza ecranul tactil al viitorului smartwatch, dar si o rotita separata numita Digital Crown, sau Coroana Digitala. Dupa cum puteti vedea si din imagine, vorbim despre o coroana pe care o regasiti la orice fel de ceas mecanic, ea permitand ajustarea sa la nevoie, Apple implementand-o in ideea de a oferi optiuni de control pentru interfata digitala.
Every new product we’ve introduced has been defined by a unique input device. With Apple Watch, it’s the Digital Crown. On mechanical watches, the crown has historically been used to set the time and date and to wind the mainspring. We reimagined it as a versatile tool that answers the fundamental challenge of how to magnify content on a small display. Pinching to zoom, as you do on iPhone, is impractical. But rotating the Digital Crown allows you to zoom and scroll nimbly and precisely, without obstructing your view. You can also push it like a button to return to the Home screen, making it an integral part of the Apple Watch experience.
Mai exact, folosind Coroana Digitala a Apple Watch vom putea face zoom in sau out pentru a vizualiza mai clar continutul pe ecranul ceasului, ea avand si rolul unui buton Home pentru a reveni la pagina principala. Practic implementarea sistemului Pinch to zoom era imposibila intr-un ecran de dimensiuni atat de mici, asa ca Apple a implementat un mecanism prezent in ceasuri de sute de ani de zile, rolul sau fiind oarecum similar.
