I'm pretty sure I said "we are a few years out" from this. You guys need to listen. I also said it was a good idea, I didn't say to use the same methods, which is why I said "if implemented properly".... lcds wouldn't be used... it'd be a combination of rear projection for the control panel, which would have to be at least .5 inch lexan to make it sturdy enough or potentially a custom cut oled film, and oled side art. Diffusion films could be used to stop the light and keep with from becoming an electric nightmare in terms of distracting brightness. Right now all that stuff is crazy expensive, but think how quickly the price on lcds have went down. Within our lifetime we are going to see something similar to this, perhaps on a commercial cabinet. |

You’ve seen the underside of a control panel - I don’t think projecting anything up under there would ever look right. I mean, is it an interesting idea? Sure. Is it feasible for Joe BYOAC? Probably not. |

I am in no way defending this project, however, would it be possible to use a projector mounted somewhere above the marquee, shining down onto the CP and making such images? I know joystick and player hand shadows would probably look like cat feces on a hot tin roof. |

I don't feel the dynamic CP works unless the control layout is the same for all the games in a cab. I guess if you created custom CP's to work around your custom controls it could work. but the way it's done here with drywall screws sticking out of the plexi? no. maybe a 1/2" frosted acrylic CP, (like how old projection TV screens) and a cheap projector could do it. no idea how it would look close up though. You will probably need to stick the projector on the floor at the back of the cab and a front surface mirror on the floor at the front at a 45 degree angle to get the proper throw distance. |
