Estimated time line for Full Function and what the functions are
Again, I thank you very much for your continued support. I am very excited about this product.
You offer a limitless plan, free for 1 month, and also offer to buy each view at $5.99, but when I click on it there is never a way to buy just one view, it only defaults to choosing which limitless plans and which option is desired. Is the individual purchase not yet available? I have entered Credit Card Info, but am unable to purchase a single view.
Also, can you please review for me what exactly the unit will do once you create the software and very importantly what is your estimated timeline for the release of the aforementioned software, just so we all know when to expect it. I understand when you have been telling me to give you some time to create, but for my own and others sanity what do you realistically expect this time frame to be...a week, 2 weeks, a month, several months...a year? Please let us know so we can manage our expectations.
Further to best understand what is happening with this product, these are the features I understood would be part of this unit, if you could please confirm or deny if they will be part of what will be featured in the software [App] you are developing and any other options aspects that will be included in your to-be-developed/released software/App
1.] Ability to make the integrated Lights function to look like one is actually looking out a window and light is coming in.
[Questions I have related to this option: * Will they get brighter or dimmer depending on the image, or time of day being portrayed? Will the lights be linked to the image view, will there be a manual/independent function/option to brighten/dim the lights? Can this work with actual day/night time so images are darker in the evening and brighter in the morning?]
2.] The "Look Around" feature.
[Questions I have related to this option: * Is this something that your software developers create within the images you deliver/offer, or will it be able to function with images that we as individual users upload/view on our own respective devices? I have been lead to believe when putting one's face in proximity to the frame and turning one's head it will make the image on the frame alter such that it's the same as looking out a window where you could see up/down and side/to side more as you get closer to the window...is this how it will work?]
3.] Upload/View our own videos
[Questions I have related to this option: * Will they be able to be grouped by us, the individual users, and pulled on and off as groups, or files as a whole? How will we be able to manage our own libraries of items within your product? Can we have multiple sources of input to get the images to the device? - Meaning our computers on the same WiFi and our iPhones and iPads? Or how does that work? The unit says it has 31GB of storage, will there be any way to expand that capacity? [ie. SD card or similar?] Can we upload still images, will that work to play in rotation? Can we set a time limit on how long we want to view each image/view? I am very interested in how you plan to lay out all of these functions]
4.] Auto on/off?
[Not sure this will be a function, but wondered if it's possible for this unit to sense movement and turn itself on, stay on for a certain amount of time and turn off until next movement detected.]. I am a Designer and have specified for my clients a TV called "Frame" by Samsung which is art when not a TV and has a function like this that turns itself on as rotating art when motion is detected. [Check it out...it's very cool]]
5.] Video through integrated camera module
[Live video taken from the camera in the frame will be available to view on our devices that contain the App you develop...how will this work. exactly?]
6.] Ability to view our own calendars on the device. Google calendar was mentioned, but can Apple Calendar work as well [I currently am only Apple product]
7.] Local weather showing on screen
8.] Local Time/Date showing on screen
9.] Ability to set certain images to come on at certain times, like AM Wake up or PM mood, etc.
The above items are what I assumed were part of this per the original videos you sent, etc, together with my other questions.
I thank you again for all of your creativity and support with this product and look forward to the many features, and answers to my above questions. Thank you again

Hi Hayesdesign,
Thank you for your continued passion for Atmoph Window 2. We know you’ve been looking forward to our features, and we apologize for the negative experience you had to it. Before the shipping, we should explain clear enough that some of the key features are still under developed. Later, we’re going to share our milestone so that our users could know what our team is working on.
As the View Store, we’re afraid that only Limitless plan is available now. In the near future, we’ll add plan for purchasing the views separately starting from $5.99. Until then, you could join our one-month free trial. We’ll keep you updated.
> 1.] LED Module
Those are the features that we’d really like to add. We’re thinking about connecting the app to LED Module and adjusting the brightness/darkness, depending on views or real weathers. Not only simply turning on/off the light, but we’d also like to be more like a real window, hopefully.
> 2.] The “Look Around” feature
Yes, we’re planning that the Camera Module will recognize your face and track the position of your face up/down and side/to side. First of all, we’d like to support only the views we’ve released, but we hope we could support the uploaded videos, too.
> 3.] Upload/View our own videos
It’s still under developed, but we might support uploading your own videos from your smart phones/tablets. You can upload one at a time and delete each one. In the beginning, uploaded videos will be visible only to you, yet in the future, we’d like to make some kind of a platform where you can see other user’s videos or share it. The length of the video might be around 10 mins duration and after its finished, it’s automatically repeated. Yes, we have 32 GB storage, yet after its full, you could re-download the old views anytime you want.
> 4.] Auto on/off?
We’re glad you know Samsung “Frame”. Changing the views by a motion sensor would be great, we agree with it. Honestly said, we’re thinking to improve the interaction maybe using our Camera Module and such.
> 5.] Video through an integrated camera module
We’re still in the process of developing, yet we’re planning to connect your smartphone, maybe via our app, to Camera Module no Atmoph Window 2. Through your smartphone, you could see what really happened in the real time even when you're outside.
> 6.] Ability to view our own calendars on the device.
We’re planning to only support Google Calendar now, but yes, we agree with you. Since we’ve received the same feedback from our users, we hope we could add other kind of calendars as well.
> 7.] Local weather showing on screen
> 8.] Local Time/Date showing on screen
Now, we’re working on the feature of showing the time on your device and it’s coming close to it. In the future, we’d also like to able to show the local time and the weather of the views you see.
> 9.] Ability to set certain images to come on at certain times, like AM Wake up or PM mood, etc.
Yes, we’re planning to add the feature of scheduling. You’ll be able to set your favorite views on a certain time. If the integration with IFTTT is released, you also could change views on a certain time of day and adjust to the actual weather, too.
Your passion inspires us to develop the features beyond your expectations. Again, thank you again for your continued trust, passion, and encouragement. As we’ve been working on it now soon as possible we could, stay tuned for more communication about updates to come in the future.
Your feedbacks, inquiries, or what you discover from Atmoph Window 2 are always welcome. We all love to hear what you think.
Best,
Atmoph -
