The installation is composed by a big screen, six pressure sensors side by side, a projector and six webcams. The screen is divided in six vertical areas, each one representing the current conditions and forecast for the next 6 hours. Every hour is represented by an animation prerecorded by the people.
A orange-wave shows you the prediction of the high tide for each hour, and a blue (or green) the current situation.
