Weather-Driven Art
A dynamic, interactive art installation that transforms weather data into a mesmerizing visual experience. This web-based application creates a grid of animated discs that respond to real-time weather conditions and can integrate live camera feeds to create silhouette effects.
The system connects to Ambient Weather Network API for live weather data, using temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and solar radiation to influence visual patterns and animations.
