In agreement with that here. I was impressed by the video and I think it would definitely be very effective to implement this depth perception, but it would not magically give you side windows. The monitor is a fixed viewport (window) into the virtual world, and moving your head around only lets yo

I think I have to emphasize this: There are two heads: Your real one in front of the monitor and the virtual one inside the planes cockpit (aka camera position). The idea is, to translate the virtual head according to the translations of your real head in front of your monitor, thus leading to
