people have apps for their smartphones, faithful websites or widgets on the desktop to always be checking the weather. the ‘tempescope‘ is a unique device where it imitates the weather outside and displays it inside the box. it goes beyond telling the user it is raining, but actually mimics with actual water and lighting effects the exact conditions outside. the gadget can be programmed to both display current and future climatic conditions, and is accompanied with an app that connects to the internet. through bluetooth connectivity the facts get shared to the device.

japanese inventor ken kawamoto created the ‘tempescope’ using fans, condensers, pumps, light and dihydrogen monoxide. a mixture of water and ultrasonics produces the vapor inside the box, while water can also be gathered at the top, and dripped down to create rain. LED lights at the top offer up an estimation of either thunder or sunshine. the weather box is currently not for sale, but the team is working on a kickstarter campaign which could be launched later in 2015.
