iWeather HK is a weather application designed with revolutionary new user interface concepts to encourage user to experience and feel the weather condition of Hong Kong. Scientists, engineers, citizens, frequent travelers, workers, students and tourists will find this application amazing and useful. iWeather HK is created with professional quality of programming and design concepts even though iWeather HK is a freeware.
Traditional application will display the leftmost page as startup page and users need to navigate from the leftmost page to the rightmost page one by one or back. The designers of iWeather HK think differently. The startup page of this application is at the middle. Users read weather information of Hong Kong by scrolling through a series of pages from the middle. A double tap on any pages will jump back to the startup (middle) page. This concept removes the tedious feeling of page by page scrolling completely.
Startup (middle) page consists of current weather condition (temperature, humidity and warning) and seven days weather forecast. A picture of Hong Kong that closely matches the current weather condition will be displayed. Our design concept is to feel the weather. Right, users are not required to read tedious weather forecast messages at all. A big and readable temperature value will be displayed on the bottom of the Hong Kongpicture. Weather warnings will fall from sky (top of Hong Kong picture) to the bottom. This emphasis the change has come.
The message below the Hong Kong picture is update time. The update time shows the actual time of issue of the current weather condition, follow by temperature, humidity data and endless dots. Endless dots are concept of infinity that changes are coming and evitable. Seven days weather forecast displays a quick list for reference. A single tap on the startup page will change the seven days weather forecast temperature value to humidity and back.
Left side of startup page is camera snapshots of designated locations of Hong Kong. Double tap on the camera snapshot page will return to the middle page.
Right side of startup page is weather information that narrows down from wider area weather condition to districts in Hong Kong. This enforce concept of concentration.
Tap the icons at the top of Satellite and Cyclone Track page (right side of startup page) to display a bigger picture. Double tap to return to the middle page.
District weather information will be displayed in the District Weather Information pages (right side of Satellite and Cyclone Track page). Double tap to return to the middle page.
