3 projectors and semi-circular screen setup

Here's a link with a 3 projectors setup : notice the kind of mirrors used in this setup and the field of view ! NB.: French language but youTube video included ... http://www.journaldugeek.com/?2008/0...la-reeducation

Very cool, looks like a compact 270 degree version of the iSphere. (http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourk...ction/isphere/) I was pondering making one awhile back. Definitely very cool. I like the setup they used. Looks like 3 first surface security mirrors and custom molded screen segments. The only missing piece here is the directx image warping utility software. Wonder what that University of Tsukuba Japan design uses? Maybe they just used a fisheye lens on a video camera to get their walking system video. Thier concept pretty much validates that it can be done in the hardware. I'd like to still see the software utility designed. I might try making one. This would be too cool for FPS games.

The new Cessna 172 g1000 simulators at Embry-Riddle use a 270* 3 projector system, they may give you some ideas.
