The TV channel “moved” the studio to a burning forest to show the danger of forest fires. VIDEO

The US television channel The Weather Channel continues to use the technology of "reverse mixed reality". This time, the studio, together with the presenter, was “placed” at the epicenter of a forest fire, in order to demonstrate the whole horror of the elements and to warn the audience about its real danger.

Meteorologist of The Weather Channel Stephanie Abrams spoke about the appearance of forest fires and the characteristics of their spread. For clarity, the studio was turned into the epicenter of the spread of fire thanks to the "reverse mixed reality" technology, Tjournal.

As Abrams said, people are responsible for the fires in 80% of cases.

For the emergence of "fire storm" is enough one spark from a cigarette. According to the meteorologist, a forest fire, as in a video, destroys one football field per second.

To create a video The Weather Channel again used the technology of "reverse mixed reality" (Immersive Mixed-Reality), which was already used during the warning of hurricane Florence. The TV channel creates real-time graphics on the Unreal Engine game engine and places it in the studio using a chroma key (green screen for changing the background - note by TJ).

The Weather Channel released a video about the fires during the Santa Ana wind season, which makes fires in southern California the most devastating at this time of year. These winds are characterized by dry and hot air currents, which contributes to the appearance of fires.

Forest fires are a serious problem for California. By 2018, the season of forest fires in the state continues all year round, and those who live at the foot of the mountains are in the most dangerous position. As Abrams noted, the scenes shown at the end of the video may soon become a “new reality”.

Recall that earlier The Weather Channel three times "sent" its leading to the virtual epicenters of the disaster. According to the company's vice president, Michael Potts, the channel has invested in technologies that are used in video games (such as Fortnite) and began working with The Future Group, which specializes in interactive. Thanks to new technologies in June, the channel showed a tornado in the studio, and a month later - a lightning.

In the September program dedicated to Hurricane Michael and floods, meteorologist Eric Navarro stood next to the map, which was usual for such transfers, but then suddenly found herself in the center of events - the elements raged around the girl. The water level around her rose, the house flooded, the tree almost vomited, and the car turned over and sank next to it - and all this happened within the television studio. In June of this year, the lead Jim Cantor "turned out" in the heart of the tornado. See both video link.
