  • Patent number: 6052648
    Abstract: A method and a system for the display of weather-related information are described. The display is interactive, three-dimensional, and weather forecaster-immersive. A three-dimensional image from a computer is integrated with a video feed source of a weather forecaster preferably in real time, so that the resulting image is a weather forecaster who is inside or a part of the visualized weather information. The integrated images of the forecaster and the weather display are preferably generated quickly, so that they appear animated when shown in succession.
