a product page for something no screen can sell
The feeling of wind
There is one sensation no screen has ever produced. Not once, not for a second, in the whole history of screens. Air, moving, against you.
This page will not be the first. Watch it try anyway.
drag a gust through the grass. it bends, because bending is all it can do.
The closest a page gets
A screen cannot make wind. That door only opens one way: it cannot make any, but it can feel yours. You are holding, or sitting near, a machine with a microphone. Breath moving across a microphone is, technically, weather.
Enable the microphone, then blow at the screen. The field on this page will bend under the only wind it will ever know.
