Climate Intensification Visualizer

Inspiration

Hurricane Milton. We had friends and family there.

What it does

It puts you in a simulation for Category 1, 3, and 5 Hurricanes.

How we built it

A steep Unity learning curve and a lot of trying :)

Challenges we ran into

Tying together actions with animations. Grokit Core was really helpful for this! Initial idea formation was also difficult.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

That we have a pretty immersive physics demonstration! This is also both our first times using Unity.

What we learned

So much about 3D modeling, but also how to optimize work-to-result ratio at a Hackathon.

What's next for Climate Intensification Visualizer

Have different natural disasters modeled, based on region in the US. Also an optional program to scan your room (or just provide a ZIP code to find information on homes in your area) and intelligently determine what are some simple things you can do to make tangible change.
