SPECTRA / Weather – Real-time generative art visualizing atmospheric conditions

Summary: SPECTRA converts live weather data into dynamic generative art, representing conditions like rain, wind, and clear skies through six distinct visual modes. It uses real-time parameters such as rain intensity and solar position to create responsive atmospheric visuals without traditional icons or charts.

What it does

SPECTRA renders weather as animated visual patterns that correspond to current atmospheric data, including a solar-tracking beam for clear skies and specific animations for rain, wind, clouds, storms, and snow.

Who it's for

It is designed for users seeking an alternative to conventional weather apps who prefer intuitive, glanceable visualizations over numerical forecasts.

Why it matters

SPECTRA addresses the need for a non-analytical, ambient representation of weather that conveys atmospheric presence without requiring detailed attention.
