Virtual model of a tornado will allow you to understand the system of motion of the hurricane.

a Group of American scientists have recreated the virtual model of the tornado was raging in Oklahoma in 2013.

the staff of the Polytechnic University of Virginia built a three-dimensional model of a tornado based on radar data and overlaid it onto a virtual map of Oklahoma. The peculiarity of this model is that anyone can find yourself right in the center of the storm with the help of VR Oculus Rift.



demonstrated On the video you can see how a person passes through the wall of rain and gets to the epicenter of the storm. For better visualization, the area with heavy precipitation are marked in red, with light rain yellow.

According to scientists, the new model tornado will allow you to understand the system of motion of hurricanes. The researchers plan to send the data from the radar in real time and project tornadoes on virtual maps. Thanks to this solution and rescue service will be able to study the behavior of hurricanes with a delay of a few minutes. the
