In designing a spatial media piece for a living room, I am repurposing an earlier concept of a virtual window for a workspace. The idea is a projected, 3d modeled environment that can register the orientation of the user, and thereby display a window view of a virtual environment. The use would be living spaces that have undesirable window views, or no window views.
Leveraging a library of 3d models like Google Earth could allow users to view a real or imagined window view from any vantage point.
Eyeglass frames that are able to register the distance of the viewer from the projected screen, as well as orientation, would dictate how the projected environment is displayed.
An interface would allow users to select between environments, as well as provide parameters such as time of day and weather (actual or overriden)
Multiple projected windows would increase the immersive aspect.
