Supposed to be super-science, and they don’t have external video cameras or a periscope or even a viewport? They have to OPEN THE DOOR to find out what it’s like outside?
Different worlds, different (grid) coordinate systems. Bleed from one coordinate system to another is a terrible thing. Why, even many older radio have special place in keeping worlds buffered, for they include(d)… a grid leak resistor.

Can’t have external ‘reality’ leaking in during travel between worlds/timelines.

There’s this new high-tech invention that lets you see out without the outside leaking in – it’s called “a window”…

Photonic leakage.

Too funny.
It’s also a wardrobe. There are aesthetic considerations. What kind of philistine knocks a window in furniture, after all?
Seriously, even with a high tech state-of-Jules-Verne sensor apparatus printing out your sensor data, sometimes you just have to fling open the door.
Especially when your inter-dimensional translocation furniture runs on Narrativ-ium. 😁

It is super science. Circa 1904.
