- Jaruzel 10y agoFor those people where getting out and about to real woodland is impractical, then yes I see a good market for VR solutions such as this. Housebound or otherwise infirm people would benefit from VR simulations of peaceful locations. Likewise so would all us shut-in techies that live in our basements...

- amelius 10y agoI didn't say it was better than real trees. Let me ask you: why do people play digital soccer games when real soccer is so much better?
- internaut 10y agoI suppose but consider this: Imagine every window in your house doubles up as a transparent video output. Then you could feed any inputs to the windows. The result is you could create the illusion of changing seasons, or changing locations (with accompanying changes in ambient sound). That would be worth something!
