madeirAlive

madeirAlive is working with our client, Wakes.UMa.pt, to transform their existing high-fidelity weather forecast models into a valuable tool for tourists and locals to plan outdoor activities based on current and near-term weather conditions. Madeira’s microclimate systems pose an intriguing challenge for visitors: simply because it is raining in Funchal, doesn’t mean that elsewhere on the island the conditions aren’t perfect for taking a Levada walk, for example. Through experimenting with new forms of interactive mapping, augmented reality, and crowdsourcing, madeirAlive will craft a product that solves the problem of planning vacations in Madeira around weather.
