The Anatomy of Wow
Using nothing more than interior wood trim, high definition plasma screens and custom made software, Rationalcraft has ingeniously created something fun and interesting with their Winscape project. They mounting plasma screens on a wall with wood trim around the edges, they created virtual windows that add life and interest to any plain wall. The software that they have designed runs off of an Apple Mac Pro and allows the user to change the window “view” remotely via their iPhone, and soon with a wii console. It is also embedded with tracking technology which senses where the user is standing and automatically adjusts the view out of the “window” as the user moves about the room, giving it the appearance of a real, natural view.
This concept inspires creative thinking, utilizing known and readily available technology in a new, unique way. It proves that digital can be the answer to just about anything and can be used in a variety of unexpected ways… in the home and beyond.
