“Virtual Sun” looks really cool. How much does one cost today? Say if someone wanted to buy a single piece or a few (2-3).

Pricing is ‘contact us’ and going to be region-dependent. I would expect to pay ca $ 10^4.5 for a panel that produces the ‘virtual sun’ effect. Same goes for competitors (I know of Coelux but maybe there are others. Not sure how quality/price compares). But maybe GP will reply to you.

Yes, it’s region specific. In the USA sales generally go through a partner. But it is a fraction of the weight, depth, and cost of the large coelux units that run $40k plus install. We also realized there is a need for producing just the sky with great photo metrics and that is even thinner and less expensive. A lot of interesting reading can be found in our interactive spec sheet here: https://www.innerscene.com/products/circadian-sky/CircadianS...

That's a fantastic spec sheet. Not talking about the specs, I have no idea how to read that, but it's very very well presented.

Thanks. This is our own custom PDF viewer. I made the page by generating images from a PDF and then overlaying transparent text so you can search and copy/paste. This allows us to make the PDF much more interactive (I.e. help topics, forms, etc) and allows us to create URL that link to specific pages or topics. You can actually save the page locally as a single file and open it locally and it still works, similar to a PDF. There is a script that bundles all the content into a single page as base64 data. As HtMl it loads a lot faster than a PDF and generally smaller. 10 years ago this would have been a major undertaking to create but with AI and rich libraries available today it was just a couple of days work.

Is your pricing also a fraction of coelux's, or just the dimensions? :o)

Emphasis mine. I think this was already answered :)

10^4.5 = 31622.77

As an approximation, 10^0.5 = pi = 3, so $30k was what my mind immediately jumped to

Hope Oracle doesn't sue them somehow ;)

I don’t understand, is this a general jab at Oracle or was there something specific to this topic?

Oracle bought Sun (Microsystems), and you are selling Virtual Sun?
