| how about this - a "VR timeout room" - think star trek halodeck but | |
| much smaller, and current tech not science fiction. A small shed in | |
| the backyard of the house has a complete virtual reality room in there | |
| for the kid to expereince a "fake car ride" or any other very calming | |
| nice human expereince. (Walk in the park, along the beach, etc.) The | |
| kid is monitored for his heart rate, breathing, all vitals, and the | |
| parents can see a video an audio feed from inside. BUT the kid is | |
| locked in the VR room until the parent says they can leave. Cuz the | |
| parent might wanna go cook dinner for an hour, still watching their | |
| smart phone with all the data on if kid is ok, but not actually | |
| watching them. Like putting them in front of TV but much better | |
| experience for kid, extra safe, but a slight creepy factor of the kid | |
| cannot escape. |

Just because this idea reminds me of a story I read many moons ago. I like the idea, but why have it locked? This might be able to be done using a 360 projector and a means to project an image that can work around the person so as to give a sense of complete emersion into the environment being created. Thinking about this if you want a less expensive route that would be using a 360 projector and a more effective way to create such a room would be to use individual led pixels with a strong scratch resistant protective surface to prevent the Led from being damaged. It would make for an elaborate babysitter that is on demand. I like this idea.
