The "windowless dorm rooms" sound terrible at first, but the rendering shows what's described as a "false window." Is this a problem we can solve with technology?
I'm intrigued by this idea a lot, since I am moving to a house with a small finished room in the basement.
Does anybody know the current state of "false window" tech? It seems to me you really need several things for a true false window: first, a large amount of light production that matches the color temperature of a typical outdoor environment at the given time of day, and second, something that displays some kind of plausible outdoor-seeming scene.
You'd also need physical depth and movement to facilitate adjusting the directionality of the light source to replicate the changes that occur as the sun traverses the sky.
This sounds really difficult to me - is there an example of a device that can pull this off well?
