It’s July … and in many places it’s HOT!

Wouldn’t it be great to get a reprieve Rain Roomfrom the heat with a walk in the rain … whenever you wanted … and not get wet?

You can…

In  Barbican, London there’s a place where the weather is inside. A room where it’s perpetually raining, where you can always experience the cool and calming effects of rain. Without getting wet.

Walk in the Rain without Getting Wet


How’d they do that?

Short answer:

The Rain Room is a 100 square meter area that uses 3D tracking cameras to map your presence, allowing you to walk and move through the continuously falling water without getting wet.

Longer (and more interesting) answer:



How do you stay cool when the temps rise?
