With the help of a Wii remote

"Waking up in the same place every morning is boring" says Winscape. Instead, why not wake up with a beautiful view across the San Francisco bay? Or underwater? Or in space? Winscape is an application that lets you do exactly that.

But it's not just a still image - it's able to move around depending on your viewpoint, thanks to a Wii remote and a small emitting device that you wear around your neck. Therefore, you can actually look out of the window to the left and right to see more of the scene. Unfortunately, it only works for one person at a time.

The team behind it, Rational Craft, says they're going to be offering a kit that has everything you need in it - two HD displays, custom software, embedding in walls, and scheduled on/off facilities, as well as remote control from the iPhone. That'll set you back between $2500 and $3000 when it becomes available in July. Start saving up.
