This may seem shocking - or not shocking depending on how much you care about The Weather Channel - but when I did some light research, I realized that there were a lot of great captures of televised local Weather Channel forecasts on YouTube. Luckily, The Weather Channel in the 90’s was host to some solid advertising, so I was able to band-aide the experience without too much trouble. I was also very sensitive to the fact that most visitors might only be able to stand something like this for approximately three minutes before I’d start to lose them. I tried making it “dynamic” - aka color-mattes-with-lots-of-cross fades -that emulated the sky from sunset to sundown, but add to that four screens of varying Omaha weather forecasts along with Kenny G’s Midnight Motion…it was too much. I also thought that something like this would take an hour to make.įor one, the background color.
I’ve been biting at the bit to create a place of calm and serenity similar to that of watching The Weather Channel in the 90's while sitting a foot away from the television screen. While you’re in the middle of this Omaha multi-weather-verse, you’re also bathed in the smooth jazz stylings of the biggest-selling instrumental musician of the modern era and Weather Channel favorite, Kenny G. “Conditions at Omaha” is a three-minute long VR experience that surrounds you with four local forecasts from Omaha, Nebraska that were televised in the 90’s on The Weather Channel.
Recommended posture for experience is sitting on the floor. Available on YouTube for Cardboard (Android/iOS) and Daydream View (YouTube VR). Click here to experience “Conditions at Omaha ”.
