    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...

    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.
