Virtual skylight windows, also known as artificial skylights or simulated skylights, are innovative lighting systems designed to replicate the appearance of real windows that offer views of the sky. They offer a compelling solution for bringing the beauty and benefits of the outdoors into interior spaces. Through realistic simulations of the sky, they create an atmosphere of natural light, openness, and tranquility, enriching the indoor experience for occupants. Virtual skylight windows are crafted to resemble traditional windows, complete with frames and a viewing area. However, instead of a transparent pane, they incorporate high-resolution displays that showcase realistic images or videos of the sky, including clouds, sunlight, and even stars. These systems provide a solution for interior spaces where conventional windows are not feasible or practical. For example, in windowless rooms or areas with limited access to natural light, virtual skylight windows offer an alternative way to introduce the visual elements of the outdoors. Beyond providing the illusion of natural light, virtual skylight windows also contribute to the ambiance of interior spaces. The simulated views of the sky can create a calming and uplifting atmosphere, evoking the sensation of being in an outdoor environment.

Virtual skylight windows offer a range of benefits compared to traditional skylights, including flexibility in installation, adjustable lighting, enhanced energy efficiency, customizable designs, durability, and health and well-being benefits. Virtual skylight windows simulate natural sunlight and can be adjusted to control the intensity and color temperature of the light. This allows users to create different lighting atmospheres according to their preferences, whether it's mimicking bright daylight for an energetic ambiance or soft, warm light for a cozy atmosphere. Virtual skylight windows provide consistent and controllable lighting, allowing users to adjust brightness levels according to their preferences. Unlike natural skylights, which rely on sunlight and are subject to changes in weather and daylight intensity, virtual skylight windows offer reliable illumination regardless of external conditions. Users have the flexibility to customize the lighting to suit specific activities or ambiance requirements, enhancing comfort and convenience in interior spaces. Virtual skylight windows eliminate the drawbacks associated with traditional skylights, such as heat loss, glare, and UV exposure. Traditional skylights may contribute to thermal discomfort by allowing heat to enter or escape from the building, leading to increased energy consumption for heating or cooling purposes. Additionally, direct sunlight entering through skylights can cause glare and discomfort for occupants, while UV exposure poses risks to furniture, flooring, and artwork. Virtual skylight windows mitigate these issues by providing controlled and diffused lighting that mimics natural daylight without the negative effects associated with direct sunlight. Virtual skylight windows simulate natural daylight, which has been shown to have numerous health and well-being benefits, including boosting mood, productivity, and cognitive function, as well as regulating circadian rhythms. By bringing natural light indoors, virtual skylight windows contribute to creating healthier and more comfortable living and working environments.

Virtual skylight windows provide a solution for human-centric lighting by replicating the benefits of natural daylight indoors, including regulation of biological rhythms, enhancement of mood and productivity, improvement of visual comfort and performance, promotion of health and well-being, and promotion of energy efficiency and sustainability. Natural daylight plays a crucial role in regulating the body's circadian rhythm, which influences sleep-wake cycles, hormone production, and overall health. Virtual skylight windows simulate the changing patterns of natural light throughout the day, providing occupants with light that closely mimics daylight. This helps regulate biological rhythms, promoting better sleep quality, alertness during the day, and overall well-being. Exposure to natural daylight has been linked to improved mood, increased productivity, and reduced symptoms of stress and fatigue. Virtual skylight windows replicate the dynamic qualities of natural light, including variations in color temperature and intensity, which have a positive impact on occupants' psychological well-being. By creating a more stimulating and visually appealing indoor environment, virtual skylight windows contribute to enhanced mood and productivity among occupants. Exposure to natural daylight has been associated with numerous health benefits, including reduced risk of vitamin D deficiency, improved immune function, and lower incidence of certain health conditions such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Virtual skylight windows provide occupants with access to simulated daylight, allowing them to reap the health-promoting benefits associated with natural light exposure, even in indoor environments where access to natural daylight is limited.

Virtual skylight windows consist of a panel or array of LED lights embedded within a housing unit. These LED lights are engineered to emit light that closely mimics the color temperature, intensity, and quality of natural sunlight. The LED lights within virtual skylight windows are part of tunable white lighting systems. Tunable white lighting systems are multi-channel LED systems, meaning they consist of multiple LED channels that can independently adjust color temperature and intensity. These LED channels work in conjunction with digital controls to deliver the desired dynamic ambiance. The LED lights are calibrated to emit light with specific color temperatures and spectral characteristics that closely resemble daylight. By replicating the natural progression of sunlight, these systems create a dynamic and immersive lighting experience indoors. Virtual skylight windows are often equipped with a control system that allows users to adjust various parameters of the simulated sunlight, such as intensity, color temperature, and even the angle of light incidence. This enables users to customize the lighting to match their preferences or replicate different lighting conditions throughout the day. Positioned in front of the LED light source is a diffuser panel. This panel is designed to scatter and soften the light emitted by the LEDs, creating a diffuse and uniform illumination that closely resembles the soft, ambient light of natural sunlight filtering through a skylight. Some virtual skylight windows incorporate advanced optical systems to enhance the realism of the simulated sunlight. This may include optical lenses or filters that mimic the scattering and diffusion effects of atmospheric conditions, such as clouds, to create a more natural and dynamic lighting environment.
