WindowSwap is a viral digital travel portal created by Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam during pandemic lockdowns. By clicking a single button, users are transported to a random, unedited, 10-minute HD video loop recorded from the window of a stranger somewhere in the world—accompanied by ambient natural audio of rain, birds, and distant city murmurs.
