ShowMeAQI – Visualizing real-time air pollution through smog effects
Summary: ShowMeAQI converts real-time air quality index (AQI) data into a visual smog overlay, illustrating pollution levels for your city. It displays current weather, humidity, PM2.5, PM10, dust, and nitrogen data alongside a smog effect that approximates actual conditions.
What it does
ShowMeAQI provides live AQI and pollution metrics paired with a visual smog screen that simulates the appearance of polluted air. The smog effect is an approximation, not a scientifically precise model.
Who it's for
It is intended for individuals seeking a clearer, visual understanding of local air pollution beyond numeric AQI values.
Why it matters
It addresses the disconnect between abstract AQI numbers and the real-world impact of air pollution by making pollution levels visually perceptible.
