Windowvision is the name given to viewing YSTV via the control room window. Due to being behind a window, windowvision typically does not have sound, apart from the odd occasion here and there...

pre-2010

Windowvision 2010

Windowvision 2010 emerged as a moment of complete madness by Michael Chislett, egged on by Michael Cullen, and Steven Perring. It consists of Chislett's projector, mounted on MDF ontop of the AV rack (opposite the G/046 window), pointing onto the blinds (which are convieniently always down at night). It is worth pointing out that YSTV's windows are convieniently almost a 4:3 aspect ratio. Audio is provided by shoving speakers onto a stool near the window if anyone can be bothered. Inaugaural projection was Man Man. Within a few minutes, windowvision Actually Had Non-YSTV viewers, one of which remarked to a fellow viewer "you have just been out-awesomed". This version of windowvision may re-appear once a timed IR interface is made for the pojector - with the hope of it being linked into a light sensor, and automatically turned on if it is dark enough.
