Environment Design
Using 3D Naked Eye Amaranthine opens the confined interior by essentially placing the wall further back, even using the entrances for an additional layer of illusion by extending them further in the imaginary space. Visitors waiting in line are standing at the sweet spot, looking towards the screen creates the feeling of more space.

THE ROOM
Wind chimes slowly swinging, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
