Japanese Software engineer Ken Kawamoto invented the Tempescope, a device that displays weather forecasts or current weather physically.
The Tempescope physically simulates weather forecasts via a wireless connection from a computer or a smartphone in real-time in order to get a better idea of what the actual weather is outside. Raining is simulated by water dripping down the box, temperature is represented by color-chaning LEDs and cloudiness is conveyed by a mist diffuser.
