A computer controlled arm that holds a window frame (paned of course) so that the plane of the pane can be chosen at will .
The angle can then open on any edge , top , down, left and right .
The arm could even hold the frame out flat as a table or lean-to cover for outside .
The household weather
station could be tied in to control internal enviroment .
Maybe the arm could change frames like tools on a CNC machine .
[ tinted , mosquito net , stained religous icons , solar pannel ]
knowledge lacking - strength and engineered joints , motors of robotic arm . Assume computers up to it .

Rather nice. Expensive, but bakeable. [+] |

I can see why 8th likes it, but it's not clear to me what the actual point is. |
|

But you could do this most easily with a spindle supporting the center of the window. Then it could angle or swivel the pane in any direction. And if the spindle moved in and out, it could achieve the rest of your requirements. |

Infinitely adjustable field of fire, with mirror glass to help conceal location. |

Sort of a gimbaled window frame? |
|
| |
Manual versions of this are quite moistly
baked. There are windows that can be
opened door-like, tilted outwards, and
generally reoriented. They always unnerve
me because I'm afraid I'll try the wrong
combination of pitch/roll/yaw and make
the whole thing fall out in an unforeseen
way. No reason why they couldn't be
computerized, though. |

My "window frame thingie" just opens outwards and upwards and becomes a transparent rain-canopy. |
|
| |
Wouldn't a centered spindal mechanism loose the window's clear flat pane function ? |
|
| |
Combinational windows have multiple frames (with gimbals) which would make motorising the frames heavy and would not allow a variable height , perpendicular position . |
|
| |
Any house with programable robotic arms on the outside, just of above each window, would have to be ready for the future , no/yes ?
Also infinite opens would be good for the coming of the oversized genetically engineered flies . |
