Abstract
Disclosed is a virtual room created by locating cameras on the outside walls of a structure, e.g., a building, and then projecting live video from the cameras onto the inside walls of the structure using projectors. Because of the way the projectors and cameras are oriented, the walls appear to be invisible to a person inside the structure.
