VIRTUAL WINDOW WITH SIMULATED PARALLAX AND FIELD OF VIEW CHANGE
First Claim
1. A method of simulating to one or more individual observers a view through a window using a display screen comprising:
- providing one or more images of a scene selected from the group consisting of images of the scene at one or more different angles and images of the scene at one or more different magnifications;
providing a display screen for displaying the one or more images to one or more individual observers;
determining location of one or more individual observers with respect to the display screen;
selecting one or more of the images based on angle or distance of the one or more individual observers with respect to the display screen; and
displaying the selected one or more images on the display screen to simulate to the one or more individual observers a view through a window of the scene.

Abstract
A system and method for simulating to one or more individual observers a view through a window using a display screen comprising a storage device containing in electronic form one or more images of a scene selected from the group consisting of one or more images of the scene at different angles and one or more images of the scene at different magnifications. A display screen is adapted to display the images to one or more individual observers, and a sensor is adapted to locate observers with respect to the display screen. A controller is adapted to select one or more of the images based on angle or distance of the individual observers with respect to the display screen and display the selected images on the display screen to simulate to the observers a view through a window of the scene.

24. A computer program product for use with a display device for simulating to one or more individual observers a view through a window, said computer program product comprising:
-
a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied in said medium for providing one or more images of a scene selected from the group consisting of one or more images of the scene at different angles and one or more images of the scene at different magnifications; computer readable program code means for determining location of one or more individual observers with respect to the display device; computer readable program code means for selecting one or more of the images based on angle or distance of the one or more individual observers with respect to the display device; and computer readable program code means for displaying the selected one or more images on the display device to simulate to the one or more individual observers a view through a window of the scene.
