Cryoscope Haptic Weather Forecaster

The Cryoscope is a haptic weather forecaster. The Cryoscope shows the user exactly what to expect outside by haptically exhibiting exactly how cold or warm it is to be outside. The user simply touches an aluminum cube that has been heated or cooled to the appropriate temperature. The unit fetches weather data from the internet, and translates it to the cube physically, pumping heat in or out of the cube.

Cool idea! But does it set itself to the right feel or right temperature? A 40 degree aluminum block will feel colder than a 20 degree air temperature.
