Creating a Virtual Window
When the pandemic hit, like many others, I found myself working from home fulltime. While I have dedicated office in my home, I quickly realized that this office space was not conducive to working 8+ hours a day, mixing Zoom meetings with email and other work. Therefore, about a month into the process, I opted to create a better all-day workspace in our finished basement. While this was a much better and larger space for working all day, the one drawback is that our basement has no windows. I'd spend the entire day in this space with no idea if it was sunny, raining, windy or calm. I knew that some of the cruise lines had begun placing "virtual windows" within their interior cabins with a live camera feed to make those spaces feel less claustrophobic. So. I wondered if a creating and installing a virtual window next to my workspace would do the same for me, trapped all day in a windowless basement.
