Virtual window for windowless interiors
Energy Efficiency and Indoor Climate
| Measurement | Psychological studies on the effect of light in windowless environments |
| Measurement object | Test group studies (e.g. performance tests) |
Technical data
| Size | 3 screens, each with 165 cm (65”) diagonal |
| Resolution | 3240 pixel × 1920 pixel |
| Brightness | Up to 500 cd/m² |
| Mappable viewing angle | 160° |
| Footage | Motifs with 15 447 pixel × 9154 pixel, any images and videos |
| Position tracking | IR depth image sensor, capturing the viewpoint and the view direction relative to the virtual window |
Special features
| Image projection | Automatic adjustment of the image, taking the viewpoint and view direction into account |
| Twin rooms | Next to the room with virtual window is a identical twin room, but with a real window. By directly uploading the outside world to the virtual window real and virtual situations can be directly compared with each other. |
