Re: surround view experiences
Iīm not quite sure, but maybe short throw projectors have a larger horizontal throw angle than the usual projectors and you might need more projectors to cover lets say a 180 degree horizontal extension of your screen.
Another issue might be that you kinda loose lumens (brightness) with increasing throw distance, so that your projectors would need more lumens than a short throw one for the same image brightness. And higher lumens projectors are expensive...
Just my 2 cents.

Re: surround view experiences
The biggest benefit with short throw projectors, is that they make it possible to create a large FOV visual system in a room with limited height under the ceiling, which reduces the risk of the cockpit making shadows on your screen.

Re: surround view experiences
I have 9.5' ceilings so height is not an issue. One screen is 120" diagonal so times 3 = pretty big screen. :)

Hi,
I am unable to see the pictures at all. All I see is a box saying that no hot linking is allowed.
Kind Regards
Bernie.

Matt,
Don't know what you did but now I lost the thumb nails as well. When I click on the small red crosses next tot the place where the images were, I get a series of white dots running around in circels, which is quite "psychidelic" you know and it makes me sleep but when I awake, they are still there man, groovy and outa sight you know. :cool:

Re: surround view experiences
I see it fine with Chrome and IE8. A bit slow loading because the pics are 2+ MB.
Let me know what browser you are using please?

Re: surround view experiences
IE8, and yes I can see them now (sloooowly).
Great pics.

Re: surround view experiences
I did a short video with the screen still not assembled, but it might give you a clue of the feeling. It has a bad quality because my video cam is very old. I downloaded the ImmersiveLight Demo software from fly.elise-ng.net, thatīs why the warping is overwritten by some text. This software seems very useable and user-friendly to me and could be a favourable alternative to Nthusim, especially cf. the cost. However, I have not decided yet on which software to use. I first have to try the Nthusim Demo.
Video shows t/o and appr at KLAS and then t/o at LOWI and landing in Munich EDDM.
