Embodied Weather : Promoting Public Understanding of Extreme Weather

Embodied Weather is a multi-sensory Virtual Reality (VR) Interaction for promoting the Hong Kong public's understanding of typhoons, a common type of extreme weather in Hong Kong. The aim is to educate the general public about the danger of typhoons and promote everyday low-carbon behaviors. Embodied Weather used visual, audio, and tactile (wind and rain) feedbacks to simulate the experience of a typhoon in Hong Kong. Also, we also developed an interactive home environment to prob user's usage of power in their daily lives. According to the different usage of energy, the system predicts and simulates future weather through visual, audio, and tactile sensation.
