Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We are sorry but the game was not made for two or more screens. Well then my money wasn't made for one or more companies named deep silver. I guess we will all have to wait until all games come on some sort of multi-iPad wireless triplehead before companie...

Had thoughts of doing this for my FW900's. I have never thought to run all three of them but if I did 5 inches of bezel would be annoying.

if someone now walks right on front of me won't their heads and legs be cropped? If the camera's height position in-game is the same as other characters heads then the heads should never be cut off unless the character is very short. In most instances you should never find yourself standing so clos...

They need to stop saying HALO every time they are interviewed about this. Halo multiplayer is a retard game for console using children. They have a year to make this game better then it appears to be. Oh, haven't seen anything on multi-screen support for this BTW, The FOV is low which is a good thin...

For $100,000 worth of projectors I am not impressed. The area is too small to use them to their potential anyway. I think even using $1000 1080P projectors in a similarly dark room you would have no issues to the point where you feel adding $97,000 MORE would alleviate them. In fact the only benefit...

a 13x13 full circular projection using the two GT720 and the 3 EX525ST. I'll use the two GT720 to watch movies on and the three EX525ST to play regular games on and all five for FSX.


Can you post a diagram?

You need to set up that treadmill and use it as your walk control. Go full virtual commando.

The system of FOV in games will be different and certainly the default values will be as well, but those fov numbers I posted above will always be your personal, correct FOV as long as you don't drastically change your seating position or monitor size. Any First Person game with those settings prope...

I think we're getting a little off topic. If you can get the calculations down on some games we can configure easily, Ill try it out and tell you want I think. Great to hear someone willing to try it. Just make sure to lower your mouse sensitivity. I find that is the first thing using a low FOV req...

Well, the average human can see nearly 180° horizontal. Just stretch your arms strait out and wiggle your fingers. Looking strait ahead you should be able to detect their movement at around 170-180°. I have discovered the root problem. I am not sure if it is inherent in only the source engine but se...

An interesting discovery. It appears that Portal 2 uses a default Horizontal FOV of greater than 90°. Stood in a perfectly square corner. Looking out if it were 90° the edges of the screen would have JUST had some of the left and right wall showing. BUT, with this much wall showing on either side. I...

Firstly, What kind of size are you going to be projecting (55" - 120")? Next what kind of lighting situation are you dealing with / are there windows in the room / are the screens home-made and/or do you know the Gain value? If you have the ability to control the lighting and your projecting under 7...

Not quite sure what you mean by "lack of motion". The type of game will determine the severity of the motion required. A heavy movement FPS such as TF2 or CSS with the necessity to perform full 180° bunny hopping moves every two seconds for three hours at a time would, in my opinion, not be a pleasa...

It is based on screen size and the distance to screen. Aspect ratio only needs to be used to convert from vertical to horizontal. I am currently working on an excel spreadsheet with all the common sized screens, aspect ratio's and distances for a single screens. I can't accommodate the bezel sizes s...

Tripling the amount of screen real estate you have shouldn't simply add on to the "normal" distorted single monitor view you are use to. It should completely change and your gaming experience along with it. I developed this theory with race simulators constantly trying to find not a competitive edge...
