You can build a "poor man projector" using an old AV viewgraph machine and cannabilizing an old 15" LCD glass panel. It is a bit tricky getting the glass separated from the frame and enclosure. The leads are very thin and you need to watch the heat build up from the viewgraph lamp; if successful you could have a large screen projector up to whatever resolution the glass electronics will support. A bit kludgy, but it does work. Total cost might be around 100 dollars, depending on what you can find at surplus outlets or swap meets.
Of course some of us work for universities with nice research budgets to buy all sorts of high end gear Curtis Olson wrote: On 11/1/06, syd <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: I think I would prefer some type of projector setup... since now one can change the aspect ratio of the display. The gut churning effect you get from watching something on the big screen just isn't there when you see it on a small tv. Hmmmmmm ... another project to think about :).... All is supported in software. I ran FlightGear a while back in my driving sim with 5 projection screens forming a 210 degree wrap around immersive view. I tooks some cheap digital movies on my digicam and posted them here, this is way back before we upgraded our PC hardware (2003) so you may see some very slow frame rates at times in those movies: http://baron.flightgear.org/~curt/WrightSim/ <http://baron.flightgear.org/%7Ecurt/WrightSim/> Regards John W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
