Future work on 3D Current weather data.
-
Implementation will take place in VRML 2.0.
-
Integration with GIS: Adaptive triangulation will be used to generate the terrain over small pieces of each state, which will then be "pieced together" through Java scripting nodes.
-
Interactive 3D sounds. When one is around a region which is raining, we will have sounds for the rain, etc..
-
Animation of the weather in 3D. We will be able to animate the clouds through past data.
-
We will add collaboratory functionality to 3D display.
-
Status: designed, ongoing implementation
