What WindowSwap actually is

Someone in Osaka or Tromsø points a camera at their window and records ten minutes of whatever happens outside it. Press a button and one of those views fills the screen, captioned only with a first name and a city, then press again for the next one.

Why it is worth your time

Nothing happens in most of them, and that is the appeal: rain on a balcony, a cat crossing a courtyard, laundry moving in the wind for ten uninterrupted minutes.
