@3- yes, it is more seamless (i have seen it done, it’s very cool looking, especially since the screens can rotate in and almost envelop you- see Anadarko Petroleum’s IDEA Lab : http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/2002/01/14/newscolumn1.html gives some good background, i can’t find a pic.) The technology is rather impressive, including the price (it wasn’t done cheaply, let’s say), especially considering that they have IR-triggered electronic glasses for people to wear in order to make the screen 3D, I forget what the actual technology is called.

The problem that having projectors (and the thing I believe UT was trying to overcome) is the severely limited resolution that projectors can provide that monitors can.

All that work and they kept the frames on the monitors? They should’ve taken those off at least…

5-upy…

Seriously, good money plowed into some harebrained scheme of dubious scholarship.

now wouldnt stringing multiple projectors together (like jonny lee’s hack?) produce a more seamless and impressive image?
