Today i saw a drivers education class on tv where the school had four big white 6 by 15 foot screens set up around a car. She was learning how to drive with big screens. This is exactly the phenononom i'm thinking about with regards to making it comfortable to live underground a little. I like windows, without windows i think living spaces feel claustrophobic. That to me is the main drawback to living underground. The other aspects like lighting and air circulation are easily solved for now. Once technology catches up to cheaply providing a way for builders to make the walls come alive with the view of your choice visable from any angle, then we can all contribute to having less of an impact on the Earth. You hopefully can be within 6 inches of the wall and still see the "image" projected on the walls (HDTV). It's possable to get within a few inches of a tv screen, right, even from a very high angle, and still see all of the tv image, which is crucial to making this work bc it would be too annoying if you couldn't see all of the images projected on all the four walls at any givin moment. I hope our homes and offices will have the same thing happen on the walls. Can you imagine live video camera feeds, one in each of four directions, shot from one spot, on a beach in Tahiti, surrounding you in your office or cubicle? Then it wouldn't matter where the wall was, you'd be surrounded by a tropicale beach paradise! Put on some background beach sounds and you feel like your working at your desk on a beach in Tahiti. How cool is that!
