Abstract
As cities become overpopulated and we explore deep seas and outer space, humans will be faced with the inevitable situation of living and working in small spaces that are visually monotonous. It is thus important to understand the psychological effects that enclosed spaces can have on people. In this study, we ran a between-subjects design experiment with people working in windowless offices by installing a digital window that featured a nature landscape video. Quantitative measures of productivity and wellbeing before and after the intervention showed that having a digital window elevated mood and happiness, but did not have a significant effect on work productivity.
