It outputs the full spectrum of natural light, and can be programmed to mimic the lighting effects of a real window.<\/p>\n<div>\n<aside><q>The light changes angle over the course of the day to mimic real sunlight<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>The angle of the light will change throughout the day and incorporates various &ldquo;sunlight scenarios&rdquo; &mdash; aka sunrise, dawn, dusk, and sunset. A companion app lets users tweak color temperature and brightness, and it&rsquo;s easy to imagine alarm clock functionality, too.<\/p>\n<p>According to Samsung, the product &ldquo;helps users synthesize vitamin D while they are indoors or in low-lit places without having to worry about skin aging or sunburn,&rdquo; and will integrate with the company&rsquo;s smart home ecosystem, SmartThings.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Although it&rsquo;s not the first artificial window we&rsquo;ve seen before, SunnyFive&rsquo;s offering does look particularly slick. It&rsquo;s also appealing at a time when much of the world is being forced to stay indoors to counter the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. For anyone with a poorly-lit flat or apartment, being able to have a fake window with convincing light in your bedroom or bathroom could make a real difference. And for the more luxurious prepper, it could be the perfect addition to any&nbsp;doomsday bunker.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately there&rsquo;s not much information available about the SunnyFive window. There&rsquo;s no pricing, no dates on availability, and no website with further details that we can find. There&rsquo;s only Samsung&rsquo;s announcement that the group has received&nbsp;backing from the company&nbsp;and will presumably launch some time soon as an independent startup.<\/p>\n<p>Although we&rsquo;ve seen a lot of interesting&nbsp;<em>ideas<\/em>&nbsp;come out of C-Labs, there&rsquo;s been no real breakthrough products, despite Samsung backing some 45 startups. The best known C-Labs gadget is probably a wearable smart belt, which was&nbsp;unfortunately named Welt, and which we&rsquo;ve not heard much about recently.<\/p>\n<p>An earlier version of SunnyFive (then named SunnySide) demoed at CES&nbsp;this year. We&rsquo;ll be curious to see more in the future. Other&nbsp;incubator ideas&nbsp;that also got additional backing from Samsung today include a &ldquo;smart study note service&rdquo; and a text digitizer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/5\/18\/21262050\/samsung-startup-artificial-window-sunlight-sunnyfive-c-l\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/5\/18\/21262050\/samsung-startup-artificial-window-sunlight-sunnyfive-c-l<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/> James Vincent<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/artificial-intelligence-newswire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Artificial Intelligence Newswire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p> James Vincent<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SunnyFive team with their artificial window and companion app.&nbsp;| Photo: Samsung \/ SunnyFive The&nbsp;latest crop of startups&nbsp;backed by Samsung&rsquo;s in-house incubator C-Labs includes SunnyFive, makers of an artificial window that supposedly delivers all the benefits of natural sunlight.
