LookToTheSky is a project initiated from my interests in data visualization, mobile service and color. As a designer and developer who is always working with computer, it is important to take a break and focus your eyes on a long distance. !
However, if you are living in the city it is difficult to see the sky, especially in this skyscrapers of Manhattan. Additionally, with increasing air pollutions it is becoming more difficult to see clear blue sky.!
ABSTRACT!
LookToTheSky promotes people taking a short break in busy daily life by looking up the sky and reminds people to appreciate our environment and nature. !
It leverages mobile device's camera and GPS location information to share color of the sky around the world. People can see the diverse color spectrum of the sky throughout the world. !
