Winscape Virtual Windows - "HOLY SHIT WE'RE UNDERWATER"

Badass, I just wish it was powered with PC so I could hook up my MCE remote to it.
Really awesome but two drawbacks.
One drawback is that people need to be picked up by the wiimote's IR camera, requiring the necklace thing, but that can be overcome if they create a system with a camera that can track people without the need for the people to be "tagged" with an IR reflector or light.
The second drawback, however, can't be fixed. The screens can only represent the view looking out of a window from one perspective, so only one person can can see the window effect.

I would have awesome landscape with zombies running around and buildings burning.

Wait a few years and it will be in a necklace or build into glasses. Prototypes are always huge so the can easily fix things.
Oh god it's like on back to the future!
We should make an apocalypse scene :c00lbert:

Still think it's cool, just a stupid amount of work and of course the overly large tracker(although the pcb looks largely just lots of unused space, could probably get it down to something way smaller.)
The necklace is obviously a prototype. I'm sure they could make it much smaller.
