This new map of real-time wind speeds in the US is not only memorizing, but it’s also useful tool to help us better understand wind’s power and potential. The kinetic map was developed by Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg, who are exploring ways that data set in graphical form can help us think better collectively. Their map shows the potential of wind power as a long-term, reliable energy source, but the map is also a rich tool that visualizes the complex nature of air currents on earth. The next step for the design team is to create a real time wind map of the entire globe.
