Weather Channel continues to display mixed reality educational videos to prepare viewers for natural disasters due to Earth's climate change.
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 narrative on an idyllic note Forest. However, he points out that the basic ingredients for a fire 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 fires 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 technology Immersive Mixed Reality we saw in corresponding video with the storms. Working with The Future team, The Weather Channel uses Unreal Engine, a game development platform, to create these graphics in real time.
These videos are fully educational because they demonstrate reality in a way that simple videos cannot news. Instead of looking in from the outside, the weatherman takes you inside the danger. It's common for the viewer to passively engage with the idea of climate change or natural disasters happening to other people, but this iconic technology aims to shake up viewers on the Internet. It forces you to imagine what it would be like if you were trapped in the flood or if flames were breaking out around you.
