A Room With a View was a student built camera obscura on exhibit in the UC Davis arboretum in the winter of 2007/2008. It was essentially a giant walk-in camera and created an impressionistic photographic image inside. The lens could be rotated 360 degrees from within.

The exhibit received a writeup in the Davis Enterprise on December 19th 2007. It was free and open to the public but was removed at the end of January. It's now gone!
