We've been working a little with this company recently: http://thinkoutofbox.com/

It's actually a really interesting concept at a pretty economical price. (relative of course)

Hey Michael how is the canopyscreen? worth the cash?? is it hard the screen? is there some sort of frame holding the screen in place??

any details you can give?

[michael haertsch]

The CanOpyScreen is to little, 107cm.
I will bigger.
This material can break,ca 2mm fat.
And this making the image a little blurred.
Now cant see the rastersizer from Beamer that is good but with blurred.
I find good for mee but another peaple i cant say.
For this price becommes a 50zoll LED Flatscreen with many better Image.

cool thanks for that Micheal. I'm currently scraping the whole canopy idea for this. i feel this beats it hands down by really putting you in the car.

You guys are going about all the wrong way for true immersion....

Think Lawn Mower Man...

Put on a racing helmet, except instead of a clear screen, change it for a flexible video screen...

then use Track IR
