In the magical world created by J.K. Rowling, wizards use spells to control astronomical and weather conditions. Our project, Meteolojinx Recanto, draws inspiration from this idea. We use body motion to imitate the movements of three weather conditions: rain, wind, and sun as a sequential cascade of movements emanating from the wizard’s wand. The final results are an interactive models that highlight the wild, stunning, and occasionally unpredictable essence of weather, through a touch of magic.
