About the project
Coffee & Climate, published in the Art & Science Review by OCAD University, is an innovative project that merges art, design, and technology to address the pressing issue of climate change impacts on coffee production. By visualizing real-time weather data from major coffee-producing countries, the project aims to enhance awareness and understanding of climate change's effects on the coffee industry. Employing Augmented Reality (AR), Coffee & Climate transforms complex weather data into engaging, intuitive visualizations, allowing users to experience the data in a dynamic, immersive format.
Project results
The project involved conceptualizing and implementing the AR visualizations, utilizing generative art to represent each country’s coffee production capacity, and integrating real-time environmental data to create a compelling, informative experience.The Coffee & Climate project successfully delivered a unique experience that blends educational content with interactive design. The use of AR technology not only made the data more accessible but also helped users connect with the information on a deeper level, fostering a greater understanding of the environmental challenges faced by coffee producers.
