Visualization of Air Conditioner
This software was developed by the joint research project of Keio University SFC Wakita Laboratory and Daikin Design. The aim of this project is to visualize indoor airflow from art and science perspective. The intention is for users to reinterpret the recognition of air conditioner. In this project, we challenged to visualize the beauty of indoor air flow. We can visualize various factors in three dimensions such as the direction and the strength of air, the position and the size of obstacles, the spread of moisture, and the temperature change. The new binding of art and science established in this project will renew our understanding of the world. You will witness a superb view hidden in your room through the air conditioner simulation and visualization.
