The Weather Channel in its effort to warn of the impending dangers of Hurricane Florence created several video with incredible mixed reality graphics.
Weather meteorologist Greg Postel presented Weather Channel a mixed reality video about the danger of water levels rising due to the Florence hurricane. The video shows real-time the risk of rising water levels already rising in various parts of Carolina as Hurricane Florence begins to hit the coast. The hurricane moves slowly and is expected to bring deadly storms in the area as well as torrential rains.
The Weather Channel, surpassing the simple paintings and numbers, took a step further, putting the graphics art of video games and using mixed reality, and showed how the hurricane would evolve and how the water would rise around the camera meteorologists. It is a very informative and impressive video as it clearly shows that the waters will reach the height of the presenter.
Mixed reality graphics were created in cooperation with the company The Future Group, which took advantage of Unreal Engine, a popular video game development platform.
Weather Channel had also used the impressive technique of mixed reality to explain how to protect yourself from a hurricane by depicting a PPC column in the studio, a car falling in front of the presenter, and woods nailing on the walls.
Look at them two videos found in this article.
