From the tech specs this seems to make sens for simulators:

- ir tracking detection which ignores the movement of your racing rig
- resolution with shutters
- holographic googles
- overlap and detection of your own real hands in VR, or stick or wheel is real.
- you can make a very near full sourounding projection wall, lets say 20cm around your head, it must only be grey scaled. A dome helmet.

Um I'm tempted.

Spoil't for choice, do you use a wrap round screen, or use the clip on VR setup.

Only downside is Sept 2014 release date.

I'm in

Pro Package $285.00 plus $80.00 shipping. Roll on Sept 2014 :D

I like the idea of using a wrap around sheet for exterior view, and a flat panel for the instruments.

Also with the clip on VR shield, I should be able to use it for my Tricopter with a 3d camera for FPV

i think if it is combined with kinect or leap motion tech will be more perfect.but i dont know why say it can replace triple screen.from my undersanding it is better to use it with triple screen together.it shoe the car cockpit 3d image.and the triple screen show the outside env.
