Virtual Windows?

After completing my last post I decided to check out some sites on different ceiling designs. The one that I found the most interesting is a site where a company called "The Sky Factory" designs windows and ceiling panels that depict nature in different was. Some of their designs include animations of clouds going by and even waves upon the shore. I thought their ideas were so creative that I would share the link. The Sky Factory's design target are customers who have a passion for nature and strive to expereinse it within their home or business. Nature, which is not considered part of design, is the main focus to create images so perfect that the windows and ceiling panels look as though they were NOT designed. A great quote from their site to discribe their purpose for their designs in our society: "It is our opinion that Sky Factory SkyCeilings™ and SkyV™ are not just pretty pictures. They are not just innovative or stylish design elements. In the deepest sense, they are not even about the sky. We think of our work as technology - an artistic technology - whose purpose is to introduce the power and purity of nature into human environments."
Here is the site:
