Following the VR Kit – HMD<\/a> (VR Goggles), here’s the Wall ! If you want to build one for yourself, join the VR Geeks<\/a> !<\/p>\n

I have to say I’ve been waiting to have this kind of setup at home for 15 years, and I could finally build one myself !!<\/p>\n

A 2.20m x 1m65 3d screen ! With that I can look at the 3D pictures and movies I took with my Fuji W1 3D camera, play (in 2D) with my game consoles, watch (2D) movies and .. get immersed !<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Make sure you understand the issues described in this article<\/a>, (see the Issues topic)<\/strong><\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oDlCEOlBhp0[\/youtube]\n

As you can see it fits in a very small parisian room. The projector has a throw ratio<\/a> of 0.68, which gives me the 2.20m width at a distance of only 1.5m. This also has the big advantage that, as this is front projection, it allows me to get somewhat close to the wall without casting a shadow.<\/p>\n

The parts list :<\/p>\n

– Viewsonic PJD 6381<\/a> projector : 800\u00e2\u201a\u00ac<\/p>\n

– NVidia 3D Vision<\/a> kit : 150\u00e2\u201a\u00ac<\/p>\n

– Wiimote + Nunchuk : 50\u00e2\u201a\u00ac<\/p>\n

– A Gametrak<\/a> : 20\u00e2\u201a\u00ac<\/p>\n

Total : ~1000\u00e2\u201a\u00ac !!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember that every part is replacable by a more efficient one as long as you follow the VR Geeks specifications for the VR Kit – Wall<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I especially hope to get rid of the Gametrak wires soon \ud83d\ude42 And I also need to change my wallpaper, it has a too funky texture.<\/p>\n

Now we need good applications and games to go with all that !! So join the VRGeeks<\/a> and start creating your setup and applications!<\/p>\n

David came home to test it and found it promising :<\/p>\n
