I've seen the fake window idea in fiction. I like the idea. I could not afford one. It all sounds terribly expensive to manufacture, luxury market only. Also, avoid moving parts. You could have fun baking this one for a long time. |

May I recommend anywhere in the North-West half of the
British isles? It barely stops. The west coast of Scotland should
logically be underwater by now, but some miracle prevents it. |
|
|
I didn't think I'd miss it, but it's a lot better than far-too-hot
alternating with far-too-cold. |
|
|
//some miracle prevents it// It's called the bog, you know a bog is serious when its on a 45° slope halfway up a mountain and the ground is sodden and you sink up to your calves in water. |
|
|
There is an idea here somewhere for a vertical bog... |

Oh I know all about that, I was walking with the better half in
a light drizzle (surprise) on Kinder plateau, she'd picked up the
general vibe that England was 46x safer than any US location,
and decided to try and wander off path. I pulled her back fairly
quickly. It's genuinely dangerous if it's 4ft deep, behind a ft of
heather, and visibility is about 9ft. |
|
|
//visibility is about 9ft//
So you went out on a good day, then? |
|
|
//Kinder plateau// Beautiful ... when you can see it. I hope
your boots were well dubbined. |

|
You might find artificial sunlight windows interesting. |
|
|
The one I read of uses a blue background and a
superbright LED that creates the right shadows on
things and is similar to natural sunlight. |
|
|
//So you went out on a good day, then?// |
|
|
The best, we saw the sun at one point. |
|
|
//Beautiful ... when you can see it. I hope your boots were
well dubbined.// |
|
|
In places like that, waterproof boots just hold the water in
after you stood in one too-deep spot. |
|
|
Ah - I see you were thinking of protecting your feet; I was
thinking of protecting the boots. |
|
|
And thunder? Lightning? Cats pawing furiously at the window demanding
to be let in? |
|
|
A pretty girl with large... buckets in a bikini washing the window? |
|
|
Customer options for when you get the basic design up and running. |
|
|
Sure. You buy the hardware and I'll build it. We need to start with a 3-D display so expensive or nonexistent only two sites seem to be actually selling them, neither of which will tell you the price up front. |
