Temp Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Sadly... "....starting price of around $6,200 for the manually-programmed base version and over $6,800 for the deluxe version that can run on automated timers," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 A project for @Onoff A repurposed flat screen tv or monitor and a recording of what you want. you could even make it more realistic with clouds floating by. Or just a video camera on the roof looking at the sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The display in my car has an image of the car (the exact model, including colour and wheel type) on the right hand side of the screen, the bit that displays traffic, people, obstacles etc all around the car, as well as the road markings. On this image there are projected reflections on the top, that use the current weather data for the car's location. If it's sunny there's a reflection of the sun on the roof, if it's cloudy there are moving clouds reflected on the roof, and on a clear, dark night there are reflections of stars on the roof. . .

Ferdinand Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Love it. Good for flats. Wasn't there a prank video last year when a videoprojector set up as a window showed buildings outside collapsing? I can'r find the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 And there is that glass walkway where the glass cracks as you walk on it. Isn't it between two skyscrapers somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc100 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 You can make your own for very little. You can see how here - skip to around 10:15 to see it in action - very good I think for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I offered to pay extra to not have a sunroof once. It was not an option. It leaked, as I knew it would. Seems it is a very British thing from the 80s and 90s to want t sunroof, hardly see them these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 My wife has always wanted cars with a sunroof. I hate them with a passion. She's compromised with a "panoramic" roof in the Yaris she drives at the moment, and hasn't mentioned not having an opening roof for some time. I'm not even a fan of "panoramic " roofs, TBH. I put up with the all glass roof on my car just because there was no other choice. Thankfully it's tinted and so isn't too much like being inside a greenhouse.

Temp Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Across the channel they think it strange to have air-conditioning and a sun roof on same car. Always seemed like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
