Continuing 2014’s Smart Cloud project, Richard Clarkson and Crealev are back to unveil a floating version called “Making Weather.” The first prototype shows a levitating cloud over a reflective oval base through the use of magnetic components. The cloud then rotates and bobbles above the base to achieve a “more realistic atmospheric experience.” Just like the original, Making Weather features a built-in Bluetooth speaker and sound reactive LED lights.
