Useless as it is.
Should be rotated 90 degrees.
Fooey Artist crap.

I can’t believe there isn’t a light on it as a standard feature. Once the wall goes over your head, it also blocks the room lighting – note the guys looking at their notebooks in the dark in one configuration – and it seems an obvious thing to mount a (remotely) adjustable task light to.

“I could possibly envision it mounted behind a couch or something. it could curl over to hold a monitor in front of you, then go away when you are done.”

Or use it to position speakers dynamically, but this seems a pretty expensive way of doing so.

Does anybody else feel like the walls are closing in?

this is so useless that it could use Arduino.

If it had 5.1 mounted to it, then i could see the point in it wrapping around you, but it doesnt. I think they could have easily done fewer pannels too. Wings with side monitors would be cool for games that can support that, but I think the money would be better spent on a good monitor/projetor setup.

@razorconcepts,
yeah, I guess that pretty much does exactly what I was saying. I want it to open the roof up like a flower though.

I always try to keep my mind open… but it’s a peace of crap.
