iWeather HK

iWeather HK is a weather application designed with revolutionary new user interface concepts to encourage user to experience and feel the weather condition of Hong Kong. Scientists, engineers, citizens, frequent travelers, workers, students and tourists will find this application amazing and useful. iWeather HK is created with professional quality of programming and design concepts even though iWeather HK is a freeware.

Traditional application will display the leftmost page as startup page and users need to navigate from the leftmost page to the rightmost page one by one. iWeather HK sets the startup page at the middle page. Users read weather information of Hong Kong by scrolling through a series of pages from the middle. A double tap on any pages will jump back to the startup (middle) page. This concept removes the tedious feeling of page by page scrolling completely.

Startup (middle) page consists of current weather condition (temperature, humidity and warning) and seven days weather forecast. A picture of Hong Kong that closely matches the current weather condition will be displayed. Our design concept is to feel the weather. Right, users are not required to read tedious weather forecast messages at all. A big and readable temperature value will be displayed on the bottom of the Hong Kong picture. Weather warnings will be displayed top down from sky (top of Hong Kong picture) to the bottom. This emphasize the change has come and originated from sky.

The message below the Hong Kong picture is update time. The update time shows the actual time of issue of the current weather condition, follow by temperature and humidity data. Time to get data from internet will be displayed on the right. Seven days weather forecast displays a quick list for reference. A single tap on the startup page will change the seven days weather forecast temperature value to humidity and back.

Left side of startup page is camera snapshots of designated locations of Hong Kong. Double tap on the camera snapshot page will return to the middle page.

Right side of startup page is weather information that narrows down from wider area weather condition to districts in Hong Kong. This enforce concept of concentration.
