Here’s an awesome little device that doesn’t simply tell you what the weather is going to be like, it shows you. It’s called the Tempescope and it downloads weather forecast information from the internet and simulates upcoming weather conditions inside a translucent box. Designed by Japanese software engineer and inventor Ken Kawamoto, the Tempescope can replicate sunshine, clouds, rain, and lightning.

Kawamoto has released the code and schematics for his ingenious device as an open-source project called OpenTempescope so that other makers can build their own Tempescope. For those of us who’d rather just purchase one, he’s planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign later this year.
