The Cranial Tap WeatherBug® Panel

When WeatherBug® announced their API contest in June we knew it was a good opportunity for us to demonstrate the breadth of our skill set for creating data driven objects within virtual worlds. The fact that the WeatherBug® API is so well thought out and simple to use just made our job that much easier.

Our entry for the contest, aptly titled The Cranial Tap WeatherBug® Panel, relies on design and functionality that is core to all virtual world business applications, including: remote data access, meaningful data visualization, and simple, but effective, user interface design. The panel is not just a static data display - it is fully interactive, engaging, and fun. We think it will be a big hit when we release it to the Second Life® population.

WeatherBug® has a more detailed post about our panel and how it works on their blog, Inside WeatherBug, but if you've got Second Life installed you can see it in action right now by visiting our new virtual headquarters on the island of Cortex: slurl.com/secondlife/Cortex/27/231/56.
