Break the traditional pattern and see how the LED lights forecast the weather

Lei Feng online news, the weather forecast will affect people's food and food and live, decades after the weather forecast seems to be more and more accurate, not much change, or dry numbers, or monotonous weather symbols, or the taste of the year...

It's time to improve the weather forecast! A few days ago, a weather related cool product appeared on CEATEC, Japan's largest technology exhibition. The design team called it Tempescope, "visualizing a variety of weather changes directly in your living room."

Break the traditional way of presentation

In spite of the weather forecast for many years, I have to say that there is no systematic understanding of the weather symbols in the weather forecast. Although there is no aesthetic fatigue, but not much interest, Tempescope just sees this point and integrates many scientific and technological elements into the traditional weather forecast. It's a super cool way to show the weather. People just look at the real weather demonstration of the box and know the weather tomorrow. It's more intuitive and clearer than the weather forecast.

It's a bit like art

In order to be naturally integrated into the home environment, Ken Kawamoto designs Tempescope as a transparent glass column with a very small area. You only need to put it in a small corner on the table, connect the network through a PC or cell phone, and simulate the weather information inside it, and for a house guest. Say, it's windy or raining outside, the wind is clear, you know it.

At night, Tempescope can also act as a bedroom atmosphere lamp, instant weather simulation, and let you be in the cloud.

Working principle

So far, Tempescope has been able to reproduce the sunny days, cloudy, rain and even thunderstorm weather, as well as a variety of realistic weather effects. As for the operating principle, it is not complex, through the network to obtain weather information, through the water pump, mist diffuser, and the color of the LED lamp inside, plus a Arduino single chip, of which red and blue LED lights reflect the changes in climate temperature, the water mist diffuser will make cloud, water and ultrasonic. Combined with the production of rain, the LED lamp at the top will simulate the effect of thunder or sunlight.
