That's not a bad thing. ;) If I had that much room, I'd probably do the same. :oops:
Do some sort of big write up, see if you can get a magazine interested?
It'll probably be about 5 years before I can do that in a presentable way. The simpit itself is a long term project that is going to eat a significant amount of time to achieve. Just think of how the tech will be then? Interesting to think about what'll possably be in the future. It's going to be fun to evolve the setup over time to that point.
My dream would be for projectors to finally be converted over to the 25,000 hour LED based bulbs and be affordable 1080p. That way the bulbs would be simply out of the cost equation. Bulb prices are what is killing projector adoption rates. 1080p LED bulb 0.6:1 short-throw projector (with DisplayPort on board) would be a dream come true for simpit builders. No such thing atm, as the tech just isn't combined in that form yet at any price.
Maybe by then "4k HD" projection might edge into the upper mainstream marketplace along with a version of DisplayPort capable of "4k HD" bandwidth connections. Combine that with 5-year matured EyeFinity and we're talking some seriously cool configurations. (Note to the AMD/ATI guys...the next OS after Win 7 could target a maximum of double the 8192x8192 current spec to allow a triple-head "4k HD" LCD display or projection capability if you're forward thinking). Forget going to an IMAX theater, because you'd have one at home. :)
