Curved screen + projector idea. Whaddya think?

We need a system which compresses the image towards the edges! In short, the sim should be able to output an image which looks kinda like this:

Ask, and ye shall receive! Look what Scawen has implemented in the test patches:



200 degrees FOV ingame!! And as you can see, the vertical resolution is still excellent. It's supposed to give a pretty good fit in cylindrical projection.

I had pretty much given up on the curved screen idea and decided to go with triple monitors instead, but this looks promising.. if only the other sims follow suit and implement something similar, this could get interesting!

All you have to do is build one now certainly looks interesting. I'm waiting for cheaper video eyewear to appear which allows for 3d, something like : http://www.vuzix.com/iwear/products_vr920.html

Bah, details, details.

Hm.. really not sure what I'm going to do. In any case I won't be able to build something until at least 1,5 years from now. I live on 15m^2, and a curved screen setup would fill half the room. :lmfao:

But at least we can dream, no?
