Take a Break From Someone Else’s Window
In connection with the sharp rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the US and other countries, which limit the range of persons who can and can not cross their borders , we may not be able for a time to travel abroad. Heck, this is not the best idea to travel, period, even within our country’s borders. But if you’re stuck at home and bored with your surroundings, that doesn’t mean you can’t see a different look.
WindowSwap is a website that instantly takes you watching videos from someone else’s window elsewhere in the world. Just visit the site, click a button and enjoy the sights and sounds of as far away as San Francisco, Singapore, Bangalore and Montreal.
The video will appear in a new window. Each view includes a credit with the name and location of the bootloader, and you can easily navigate to another view (selected at random) by clicking that option at the bottom of the screen. This means you can spend an entire day traveling the world sitting on your own couch in front of your own boring window.
Since the views from the windows in WindowSwap include sound, you will have the full experience of being immersed in someone else’s space – with birds chirping, cymbals clattering and buses passing by in the background.
You can also send a view from your own window to be included in the tool. All you need is a 10 minute horizontal HD video of your viewing that you send to [email protected] along with your name and location. Although your video should be horizontal, your window can be of any size and shape. It doesn’t have to be out of the ordinary – the best thing about WindowSwap is that it feels like a real-life experience rather than a high-performance virtual tour.
