vizwhiz Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 check out The size of This ... er monitor http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/projection/UnityiDome/ its BIG and ROUND, must be nice excerpt below Unity and the iDome Written by Paul Bourke June 2008 Example 1 It is relatively easy to argue that there should be a gaming advantage if, like in real life, our peripheral vision is engaged. Not only does this give us a heightened sense of "being there" but it also engages our strong motion cues in a peripheral region. In the same way as we evolved to have a wide peripheral vision to help us detect predators, this peripheral vision can assist in early detection of dangers in a FPS game. The iDome allows one to play with our full peripheral vision engaged, both horizontally and vertically. In order to demonstrate the use of Unity within the iDome, the standard demo that comes with Unity Pro is modified to support the warped fisheye images required for the iDome. The technique can of course be applied to any Unity based application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) That's cool but it does not compare to the (9) across x (5) down 30" widescreen Dell LCD set-up they have at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/resources/vislab/#comp Edited July 24, 2008 by Slinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckytohaveher Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Question: "Does size matter?" Answer: It depends on who you ask. I say no... but, as always, my girlfiriend does not agree... Beyond a few cores and 4GB or 8BG of Ram, you need to outsource rendering... Unless, you are a 'house'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
