         14 . A system for altering a virtual reality scene displayed on one or more display devices on a moving vehicle comprising:
 a computing unit,   one or more sensors and   one or more display devices,   wherein the computing unit, in response to input received from one or more sensors located on the vehicle, signals to the one or more display devices to project a virtual reality scene, the scene being different than the scene that would be viewed by looking out a window of the vehicle and not representing real-time information   
     
     
         15 . A system according to  claim 14 , comprising two or more display devices. 
     
     
         16 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the display device is located inside the vehicle. 
     
     
         17 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the display device is located outside the vehicle. 
     
     
         18 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the vehicle is selected from among a bus, a taxi, a train, a plane and an elevator. 
     
     
         19 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the display device is located on a wall of the moving vehicle, on the ceiling, on the floor, in place of a window in the vehicle or any other viewable location inside the vehicle or affixed outside the vehicle in such a manner so as to allow viewing. 
     
     
         20 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the display device is an electronic screen. 
     
     
         21 . A system according to  claim 14 , where the display device is a projector that is projecting the content in or out of the vehicle. 
     
     
         22 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the computing unit is an embedded system. 
     
     
         23 . A system according to  claim 22 , wherein the computing unit is a PC. 
     
     
         24 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise an accelerometer, a gyro, a positioning sensor, an altimeter, a camera, a microphone, an RFID sensor or a motion sensor capable of sensing a change in the environment 
     
     
         25 . A system according to  claim 22 , wherein the one or more sensors are linked to one or more memory units, selected from a hard drive, flash memory or other storage unit locally or remotely that is capable of storing virtual reality scenes to be transmitted to the display device in real time or offline.
