Cruise ship cabins equip virtual windows

Largest tourism company Royal Caribbean International, having really posh cruise fleet, has introduced a new liner. In addition to fly to aerotrube, modern indoor sports and entertainment complex Pleasure “bumper cars” and a huge rollerdrome (full list of achievements can be found on the website ), the company is proud to be the first ship where the windows and balconies are in all cabins. However, some of the windows – virtual.

373 of 2090 cabin liner «Quantum of the Seas» – internal, ie not having windows. Royal Caribbean International has solved this problem by setting the system in such cabins Virtual Balcony – 82 dyuymovgo screen high-definition, which displays real-time view overboard. Responsible for webcasting outdoor cameras.

Screen-window can be turned-off at will. Realism of such a window display even demanded virtual railing to provide a sense of security. The representative of Royal Caribbean International, said: “You do not necessarily have a window to see the sunset.”

From myself I want to add that, despite the clarity of the images and virtual rails, the human brain will still be hard to take such a window for the moment: when walking around the room “viewing angle” at what is happening outside the window will not change. But when you cross the window with the technology described in the “industrial area” a few years ago, can get really interesting, “porthole”.
