What game is this?

I just found some pictures on some (I think) Spanish site... so couldn't read it.
It just looks so awesome

I'm guessing Mobile Suit Gundam: Bond of the Warfield.

The dome units were created by Namco and have been shown before. This is the first I've seen of a game running in one though.

That's cool!  Cool enough that I would probably buy one if you could play PC games like FPS's and Mech type games on it.

I think (from memory) they are rear projected with crt projectors, it thats the case then you would certainly be able to hook up the output of a computer to the projector.

then after a little tweak to the FOV parameter and it would be excellent for FPS games (FOV = Field Of Vision)

Thanks Crowquill ^^
I now wish I was born in Japan :p

FPS on a screen like that... that would be cool!

An arcade Gundam game, Bond of the Warfield's gameplay consists of two units: a station unit and a terminal unit. The terminal unit features a touch screen panel and is used to obtain new Moblie Suits. Your actual game session takes place in the Station unit, a closed-off pod with a dome-shaped screen and lever and pedal controls designed to make you think that you're actually piloting a Mobile Suit. The game features eight-on-eight, team-based multiplayer one group siding with the Federation while the other sides the Zeon forces

*drool*

Can't really find many screens of it

Definitely an immersive situation. I remember liking Ridge Racer Fullscale because it was like that. It took up your entire field of vision. Here's the flyer for it:

Using a projection screen and normal vision definitely beats putting on VR headgear.

Have you seen this project?

That's a cool project
I've also seen projects like this with airplanes... often with a projector to a screen or a multi monitor setup in every window with a home made rear projector ^^

It's cool... but stuff like this takes up too much time and space 

[freckleface]

That is cool. I wonder how the screen is designed and manufactured? The best though will be when they use lasers straight onto your eyes.  (This is actually an idea going back 20-some years.)

That is absolutely slick.

I just love those full immersive arcades. Just wish I had the money to pay for playing. The local MGM had this one with a HUGE big screen and four player seats inside this room. IIRC, all four players could see what the other was doing.

But it sucked being a poor kid when each round cost $5!! $5 for ten or fifteen minutes of play or $5 for a few hours of SFII wasn't a hard choice to make. Sure did envy those rich kids though.

I think I just got the inspiration for my next cabnet!
 

No fear of upstaging you guys anytime soon as I still have two WIP's to finish first.

I played the full scale Ridge Racer once at an arcade in NH.  $4.  Once was plenty.
