Although the weather temperature is quickly checked these days via smartphones, the 'Weather Cube' is designed to bring a literal touch to getting your daily forecast.
Designed by Yu Zhang, the 'Weather Cube' holds water within the glass box and augments it according to the weather: wavy for windy, foggy for fog, rainy for rain and so on. The complex 'Weather Cube' brings a fantastic design element to home interiors by offering an artistic take on something everyone can relate to.
The 'Weather Cube' works by getting the weather temperature via the built-in receiver. From here, the ultrasonic device on the lower portion augments the water according to the conditions and displays the information on the transparent front screen.
