I WANT this!
So sweet, huh?
Waking up in the same place every morning is boring.

Now that's my kind of high tech! Perfect for basements, too. Our cats would enjoy the fish!
I remember seeing how people who bought old underground missle silos would build fake window boxes and stick a light behind the curtains to provide the feeling of being in a normal house.

That was pretty cool and it's a build your own sort of deal. Neat.
It reminds me of a science fiction story I read a while ago about memory glass. It was a glass that would remember everything that happened forever and play it back wherever it was installed.

Early commercial planes had no windows, and passengers would freak out after a while, so plane designers reluctantly added them in.
The addition of windows was, and still is a structural problem to some extent.
I had a tech school outing at the AĆ©rospatiale plant is Toulouze, France, once. Neat stuff, but looking at the actual load-bearing structure of a plane gets you thinking...

Didn't some 90s or so Scwharzenegger movie have something like that? I think it was set on Mars.

Yep, having to wear that jumbo sensor around your neck does take the luster out of it.
Maybe just a great view without the virtual movement might be kinda cool.
