So that's where they put the UI!
Wednesday, Apr 24, 2002
CNN's running a story on the Segway, now that Atlanta has received its first Segway shipment. In the article, they link to a Time.com flash animation detailing the anatomy of a Segway.

The diagram shows where the batteries, gyroscopes, daughterboards, and so forth ar all stored away, and also shows us where they hide the user interface:

Segway's User Interface
Rollover text: "The User Interface tells you the machine is on, what mode it's in, and how much battery life is left."

Who would have thought the whole user interface fit into a readout on the handlebars? Looks like someone at Time needs to learn the difference between a status readout and a user interface...

(yes, I'm feeling snarky today. I just want to drive one...)

If you like it, please share it.
