Depth Perception
The modified room with two windows can look like a normal room when the 2D visual of it is shown. Can depth perception when the room is directly observed reveal that it is out of the norm? The lighting has to be just right, or clues will be revealed. What kind of geometry was applied to build it? Projective geometry? I feel sorry for the carpenters.
