With AR technology, the US weather channel simulates the floods of the storms of Florence that make viewers fear and enjoy

Using real technology, The Weather Channel has reproduced the rising water level as Florence storms through the United States.Hurricane Florence has already begun to cause damage in the United States, and the media is also rushing to help people and agencies respond to hurricanes. In particular, it may be worth mentioning the way the channel "The Weather Channel", when they have applied technology into the weather report in a very intuitive way.


Specifically, The Weather Channel has used augmented reality - AR, which simulates the rising water level rising everytime Florence goes through, starting to sink in homes and cars in the Carolina area. After that, the water level will continue to rise, causing the entire area to be submerged with a flood level of up to 9 feet, equivalent to more than 2.7 meters.In it, the weather forecast MC stood in a circle and described to the viewer the dangers that this flood would cause, both property and people, around 3D images of trees, cars, signboards and the far side are the homes of the people.

This is a really smart way of making weather reports, because people will not be able to measure flooding data on their own, nor can they accurately visualize what Hurricane Florence will do. for them.The image in this weather report was created by the company that specializes in "The Future Group", based on the Unreal Engine, a platform that has appeared in many different titles.

According to Poynter, instead of creating effects and rendering in the post-production period, the Unreal Engine, the experts created the images in real time.

Hurricane Florence has declined in wind speed, falling from level 4 hurricanes to level 2, but it can still cause much damage to the United States.
