A sensory deprivation chamber, fitted with a wavemaker, a
quantity of seawater, a quantity of sand, a hammock, 2
palm
trees and a kickass sound system able to replicate
accurately
the sound of any beach on Earth and temperature control at
the touch of a button.
Realistic down to the slightly
fishy smell of the ocean.

One of those capsule hotels could install this as an option [+] |

We just spent a couple of hours at the beach withe
the kids and the dog, as night fell. Fish and chips for
dinner. I tried to take photos of the highrise
buildings on the Gold Coast, 15km further down the
beach but it was too dark. |
|
| |
I thought of this while I was there. It would probably
sell like crazy if you added a kitchen and bathroom,
as a housing option. |
|
| |
Wait can you see anything or is it dark? |
|

M'lud Buchanan certainly does ... |

I seem to recall an episode of the old BBC TV show Changing Rooms (or possibly its American cousin, Trading Spaces) wherein one of the designers converted a bedroom into a pseudo-beachfront paradise using overscale photographic wall murals, a couple of floor to ceiling palm tree trunks with a hammock slung between them, and bags and bags of play sand covering the floor surface. As you might expect, the effect was a bit cheesy, but nonetheless fun. I remember thinking that the room should come with a large warning sign on the door: "DO NOT LET THE CATS IN!" |

[+] OK, so when we were kids, we used to play *beach*
in the living room on a snow day. I would get a blanket,
umbrella and stuff like my flip flops. Then I would make
lunch on paper plates and make my brother pretend we
were at the beach. (He didn't care for my playing too
much.) |

//Isn't the west wing *actually* wales ?// |
|

It only includes the best bits. And it's not heavily
used. |

Admittedly the north-north-east upper
conservatory is rather rainforesty, but the wildlife
is a bit out of control so we don't go in there as
much as we used to. Lost at least two (possibly
more) good staff in there - I did tell them to take
GPS. |

If associated next door to a mortuary, You could say "Life's a beach and then you die _ and it is still a beach." |
|
| |
We could see it quite well, [leinypoo]. It was too
dark for the camera. |
|
| |
Oh, the idea! Yes, you can see quite well. Even by
night, with blue, bioluminescent algae <link> |

[+] despite the feeling that you're playing on the -23C temp here the same time it was posted. |

Hey there UB, I see we're playing Australian bookends (Kalbarri, WA). My kids have a good start on collecting enough sand to supply all the Halfbaker's needs for this idea. |

[+] I'd order one with 3-D projections of bikini girls nearby. For those poor ppl in warm regions who miss out all the cold fun there could be cold-place versions. |
|

Also, an economy version where you put only your head or above waist in the chamber would be good if you want to sell to the masses. |
