Sense Weather for PC

Understanding the weather outside should be an easy task. Charts, numbers, jargons, and heatmaps are modern ways to interpret what's going on in the sky, but back in the days without digital devices, humans felt the weather as a unified impression with their five senses. One didn't need to be educated to interpret "ENE wind 40mph," instead, he/she can simply step out the door and say, "wow this wind is blowing my face off!"

In OneLab's fourth exploratory project, we re-think the relationship between humans and nature in the age of digital technologies by digging into the domain of multisensory experience design. With the belief of FEEL > READ + INTERPRET, we built this inclusive mini weather app with light visuals and interactions that allow people to actually feel the current weather condition in selected cities with vision, sound, and haptic.

Since different Android devices carry different OS versions and haptic engine, not all of them can experience the full sensory bundle. Download the app, tap and hold on the weather animation, and sense the weather!
