3D display uses gigapixel technology to create an immersive visual experience.

[innocent bystander]

Wow... for that kind of money they couldn't find displays with thin bezels? This would drive me nuts.

I guess money cant buy you anything, for 50k it looks like poop 😀

It would be neat if I cared about my gaming enough that that was attractive. My singular Dell U3011 is more than adequate for my simple needs.

 

[paulemannsen]

the black bars are the costly part? seriously, that looks horrible.

 

[sporkimus]

$50k for that crappy setup? Seriously?

 

[master_chen]

...make those connecting points almost invisible, and maybe I'll consider it...

 

[flowingbass]

What is he playing? GTA?

 

[ojas]

I thought it was one display 🙁

Looks like shit. For $500 you could have VR with oculus rift next year.

I don't believe the black bars are bezels. I think they are simply space. In my understanding, the screens are aligned so the primary viewer has one continuous image. However, the camera is farther back, so the screens just look like they are out of place.

 

[spleenbegone]

They should have used projectors so there were no bezels.

 

[RyQril]

50k?? whos gonna buy that ugly setup for 50k??

 

[waxdart]

Could get better with 3 projectors! I want a Collimated Display like this guy made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R2bcZ-3eX8

Definitely doesn't have the same flair as the "3D Cave" which has seamless rear-projection images on all six faces.

On the other hand, $50k might barely cover the cost of building a room large enough to contain the cave's projection arrays.

crysis on that anyone?

 

[gentlydownthestream]

To h e l l with TV's. Bring us Virtual Reality ideas like the oculus rift always welcome !

Why in the hell they couldn't pry open the tvs, get just the panels and logic board and mount them on a custom mount? People have done that for Eyefinity setups and it looks gorgeous.

I visited that lab last spring (my brother-in-law works at KAUST) and the technology is indeed very cool. The monitors are all turned so that the Bezels are minimized from the point of view of the user (which makes it look like crap from where the pic was taken).

The other visualization lab they have at KAUST is actually the one that I find much more immersive. It is a 10 foot by 10 foot cube you step inside of with rear projection screens on all sides plus the ceiling. It uses head tracking 3D glasses to create a full 360 degree experience. THAT is the lab I want to see working with an FPS.

Did you guys miss where it said gigapixels? Each of these displays has to be a minimum of 'double-wide 8k'. This tech isn't what you pick up for a dollar at your local flea market.

 

[SteelCity1981]

how about instead of 14 diff displays one big display for 50k i mean seriously.

 

[blingooron]

Circle vision owned this like 40 years ago.

 

[rosen380]

So, now you want a curved display that has over 100x the resolution of 4k, that appears to be a couple hundred inches in diagonal for what a 100" 4k tv will cost?

this rich person purchase is the equivalent of a poorer person buying a 1$ app they dont use.

So when will a GP movie be available?
