@sdetweil Thank you for the link, Sam! I’ve seen the Sky Factory website, and that’s exactly what I am talking about. I believe purchasing from them is extremely pricy and is why I was hoping to put one together myself and have my husband make the window framing for it.
I appreciate any information I can gather from anyone that’s willing to share it and give me their two cent’s worth about them! :)

Hi,

I’m so out of my league in this forum because I know zero about any of this, but thought I would ask to see if anyone would be kind enough to give very detailed instructions, possibly with step-by-step photos or step-by-step video for the “dummy” in the room! 😬😅

Generally, from the few things I’ve seen just browsing online is that it’s potentially possible to take an old computer monitor, hook up a raspberry pi to the monitor and then login to a website that provides live webcams, or I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that you can purchase prerecorded 24-hour looped videos, download and save them on an SD card or thumb drive. Then you build an actual window frame, maybe add some window grates and a sill to fit over/around the monitor, hang it on the wall and play your “virtual” window.

My apologies in advance for any improper terminology I’m using. Remember please, I’m the “dummy” in the room!! Lol!!

I have an office with no physical windows, and I really want something that will at least slightly compare to the real thing to feel I’m seeing out an actual window.

The virtual window posters on Amazon just don’t do it!! I can have a better “view” looking at my Windows shuffling screensaver! Lol!!

Thanks!

Tracy
