I use special glass and it cost more money, but it is 40% see through mirror with zero double image effect.

Good idea, I will cad something up ...

Looks awesome I want to do the same except with an aft view as well.

Y2, cool idea for a small room!

I have been watching this HMD as well! Looks great, just no High res small panels out yet to really make this useable. I hear sometime in 2013 there will be a high res solution for this.

That would be awesome! It looks we could use 1024 res for each projector...

It might... gt 720 4.5 feet= 87 inch screen

Sounds good on the new software... So BHawthrone, you would recommend rear projection? How close can you put the screen to the pit where it looks good? I guess I would need to build a small frame/box cube for the pit. With the room size, I should have enough room to mount each projector on each wall... plus a projector inside with a mirror for vertical.

The media room will be 12 x 10 ft. planar projection ( for now ) I plan on using the Gt 720 short throw projector for now.

Hey guys, With what Bhawthrone is doing it has motivated me to start a thread on what it would take to build a Cube projection visual. Basically, I’m planning 4 projectors projecting each 90 degrees around you. The visuals are planned to be in HUD only mode for the best performance. I will have a touchscreen multi-use cockpit running Helios on a networked second PC. There is a 5th projection considered for the top view depending on performance. It will help when DCS decides to update the engine where we can use multi-channel view setups like prepar3d and other professional simulators. I'm hoping this can be a combined effort to see if a 360 degree view is possible with the current DCS code. In December I will have a perfect dark room to test, but until then we need to get the viewport code and .lua setup required. Any suggestions or input will be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping we can come up with a complete setup which will allow feature pit builders to quickly reproduce this setup with ease. As a bonus, I know PeterP has a way to remove onscreen HUD data to a small LCD reproducing the HUD image… It will be my goal to build a functional Heads-Up-Display. I have built this in the past and worked really well. The main thing is have a way to invert the image to the glass with software/hardware. Lastly, it could be a small challenge lining up the real HUD to the projection display, but I’m confident we can get close.

There is an empty tub for the A-10... hud-wings-tail-and gun. It works pretty well. do a search for it... it's there

The downloads are at gadrocsworkshop... I'm working on updating the scs versions.

Any more news on the bubble?

Your projects look great! I'm thinking about a box projection, front, left, right, rear, and top view. Basically what your trying to do, but your in a ballon! lol I might venture on what your doing depending on the space required... and if you can get them to make you a white ballon. Maybe I can get Gadroc on this as well to help with the view ports...

Thanks for info... Now, how do you plan to place your projectors? Or all rear projection? I have a nice boxed room I will use, so rear projection might no be the best way.

I was looking at the optoma gt720... what do you think?

Ya Peter, looks like you have a good point... maybe he will be using more projectors in return for less res. The preformance will be pretty bad unless we can network something and get the load off the main pc. I will have a media room in my new house which will be the pit room. I would like to get a 5 projector setup... front, sides, back, and one for some vertical.

so, using lower res will allow you the 360 horizontal?

We need the capability to run multiple views on networked pc's!

We need networking where we can run muti computer setups with separate cameras.

I pre-ordered the ST1080... I'll report back once I receive it!

The more money ED makes. the better the products! I've bought A10 and BS twice...

So when will A10 and Bs be updated?

Does multi-player work now with A-10 and bs?

What Nevada scenery?
