The Weather Channel brings the AR show to the next level with the Wildfires Report "Next Reality

The last time The Weather Channel unveiled its augmented reality, the Internet has not stopped to say how immersive the presentation was, although it's displayed on a 2D screen.

By taking viewers into a virtual version of Hurricane Florence, guided by a host surrounded by virtual perils, the network resorted to this approach to show residents about the hurricane's passing why they had to evacuate Their houses.

This time, the network shows us some of the dangers of forest fires, an environmental event that has been regularly damaging to California residents in recent years.

The latest major fires in the state are currently burning in the Sequoia National Forest. According to experts, the most dangerous month for fire epidemics is the month of October.

Weather Channel meteorologist Stephanie Abrams appeared Thursday on the same type of circular platform that we saw during the presentation of Hurricane Florence. Only this time, the animator is represented surrounded by forests and animals while she presents 3D screens that seem to be in front of and behind her.

But this presentation takes a notch when, during the game in which Abrams explains how the embers can spread fire, the camera seems to be no longer sharp and zoomed on a floating ember, leaving the host blurred in the background before move the focus again. back to his platform.

This is an excellent simulation of the type of homogeneous varifocal experience that a number of research laboratories are working to bring to future models of virtual reality glasses and helmets to enhance realism.
