Workshop Description
This workshop focuses on using the Unity game engine as a real-time spatial computing platform for developing an interactive climate data visualization. Attendees will learn how to create a Scene, add and manipulate Game Objects, import and parse climate data, map quantitative values to spatial properties, and implement temporal animation.
Prerequisites
- Install Unity 6.3 LTS in Unity Hub : https://unity.com/download
Learning Objectives
- Create a basic Unity Scene and programmatically generate Game Objects
- Import and visualize rainfall time-series data in 3D
- Animate temporal data within an interactive environment
- Recognize how spatial encoding and animation affect interpretation of temporal climate data
Tools Used
- Unity Hub
- Unity
