    The virtual cockpit was just present for testing - it won't be there once I get around to building a cockpit to fit within the confines of the display.

    That had to have taken quite a bit of engineering to pull off. Certainly impressive to say the least.

    Here's a short video showing a run using the game Need for Speed:Shift and my friend Dave's rather enthusiastic reaction to it.

    Heheh. Thanks Ron.

    Brady, I couldn't sell them even if I wanted to. The display design uses a technique that is currently under active patent. I'm hoping to hear something soon regarding that, but we may never be able to release the full design because of it.
