Abstract :
We overview a new approach for displaying meteorological information in which weather features extracted from weather maps are rendered haptically. This weather display enables users to feel the weather at the geographic locality indicated by the position of the interface cursor. At present, we are exploring haptic metaphors representing wind, precipitation, and turbulence, factors relevant to aircraft flight trajectory planning.
