The Cryoscope Haptic Weathervane is a cube that gathers weather data and then changes its physical temperature to reflect those findings. If it's cold outside, the cube is equally as cold. If it's a scorcher, the cube wil be too (up to 100 degress). From an Art Project standpoint, it's pretty phenomenal. From a Something I Want In My Home standpoint, I'd pass - especially since it's based on Internet weather data and not just hooked up to some external source reading the legit weather outside. All that being said, it is super clever, really neat looking and worth a peek of your time. The intro video does a great job of explaining how it actually works to give off "Perceived Temperature" rather than the real temp.
