Curved screen photos

While I had been touting the virtues of a curved screen, I had yet to actually see what it looked like.  So today I did a mock up using a nice white piece of MDF for the screen.  Some of the issues with a curved screen are the focus across the  width of the screen and the image shape which ends up taller in the middle than in the edges - somthing I have a software solution lined up for

The problems are far less significant than I thought.  Some correction will be needed but not much, and I didnt notice a focus problem.  The feeling of immersion sitting in fron of the screen is excellent!  The final screen will be wider as well, so I am excited to see how it turns out.
