Hrrrm, interesting looks like he's doing around 120 degrees or so. My main question is how are they handing the focus range on the screen? There has to be issues at the center and edges with clarity for text. You can hide a lot of issues in a 640x480 picture. What are they doing to not lose pixel height on the projection? Using an anamorphic lens or bouncing off a mirror? In my experience anything over 110 degrees FOV has depth focus issues. My current personal screen is doing 100 degrees per projector -- 90 per projector + 10 degrees of blend.
Found another video bhawthorne --

I'm back in Malaysia now, so I will check out the build first hand by myself.
BTW -- saw your post about project icarus -- looks like a good build for someone with limited space. I have tried e-mailing the Australian dealership but have not received a response. I think the setup would be pretty easy to make yourself; your only trouble would be trying to find large first surface mirrors at a reasonable price.
