I have yet to implement mine, but here's what I was/am going to do.

I bought a misting hose. It's meant to be put into an umbrella I guess and then attached to the hose and make cooling mist. Instead I'd attach it around the exterior of the window and carefully aim the nozzles/opening at the windows.

The water will be a waste, but it won't be on much and the mist is not a lot of water. We have 4 misters on the patio we use time to time already.

Getting the nozzles positioned will be the important part. But also, we're looking for the water on the window thing, not rain drops, to obscure the outdoors more. I'm not sure rain drops could be seen well.

The Mai-Kai also used to have an indoor rain storm. If you could make a faux thatch "roof" that's seen outside the window as though it is your roof overhanging and the water dripped off that, it would make a great effect. That's how it worked in the Mai-Kai. Would make the rain more visible as it dripped off the thatch.
