WeathAR app developing to immerse users in weather & climate forecast data to improve planning, action, and data comprehension

Meteorologist-journalist ran smiling from ONA’s July J360 conference, hired AR developer for immersive app prototype and has tips and follow-ups to share

Perhaps the only meteorologist at this conference, this can be a conversation not only about a J360-inspired immersive AR app but lessons learned since the July conference. Our world–its weather and its climate–by nature, is 3D. Today, we use 2-dimensional maps and charts to display data. An immersive experience solves many gaps for a user of weather and climate information. Bring data to life and immerse users in current and future conditions and they’ll gain a greater understanding of the atmosphere around them and how it’s changing. Presentation (http://bit.ly/2CzDsCC) can be given if desired but table talk also fine! [Embedded prototype link also below on this submission page; can show a 3-D version on my iPad as well]
