The Weather Channel continues to air mixed reality educational videos to prepare viewers for the natural disasters that are coming due to climaticof changing the Earth.
After one a successful video of the Weather Channel where the meteorologist warned residents of North Carolina about the floods of Hurricane Florence, the canal pulled out a new video that highlights the fact that climate change is causing even more disastrous natural disasters.
The video is about forest fires and how they can be spread by the wind with amazing speed. In the video, meteorologist Stephanie Abrams begins her narration in an idyllic forest. However, he points out that the basics components for a fire they are already on the scene. Dry branches and grasses, warm air and strong winds. And it only takes one spark that is 80% human to start a fire. And Abrams goes on to say that wildfires like the one in the video are burning up to a football field every second, like the one that burned through Southern California last December.
The video uses the same Immersive Mixed Reality technology we saw in corresponding video with the storms. In collaboration with team The Future, The Weather Channel uses Unreal Engine, a game development platform, to create these graphics in real time.
These videos are fully educational because they show reality in such a way that simple news videos can not deliver. Instead of looking out, your meteorologist leads you into danger. It is customary for the viewer to passively take up the idea of climate change or natural disasters that happen to other people, but this flagship technology aims to shake viewers on the Internet. It makes you imagine what it would be like if you were caught in the flood or if there were flames around you.
