I see three projectors. Unless they have very special lenses indeed,
I don't see how they can project clear images onto curved screens.


There is fancy stuff you can do with the video feed before sending
it to a standard projector, but I don't know how it is done. I
haven't played with this kind of thing in years, and that was on
high end SGI stuff. We had a machine in the lab that was driving
sixteen displays. That was a fun machine to play a flight sim on.

(Gears turning...where can I mount a curved screen? Whey can I even
*buy* a curved screen? :-)


After you get the curved screen, you'll be looking for the next
upgrade. Why not just skip a few steps and build an IMAX dome
theater at the hotel?
