The Silvas Digital Snowglobe is a virtual snowglobe for Windows desktops that can serve as a decoration, a desktop toy to play with, and also a clock-calendar when not in use. The snowglobe features realtime optics effects which simulate the light-bending of the globe's water and plastic shell--distorting the appearance of whatever happens to be viewed through the globe.

As with real snowglobes, when the Silvas Digital Snowglobe is shaken (by dragging it with the mouse), the falling snow is sent into flurries.
