Elumens Visionstation - big, big mirror screen

Holy back to the future, batman! The Elumens Visionstation is a parabolic monitor covering a 160 degree field of view. It's targeted at the simulation and research market but could be used by hardcore gamers as well. No word on image quality (although judging by the images on the Elumens site it's not that great) but talk about geek points - whip out CounterStrike on this bad boy and watch your nerd account rise. On the other hand, it's going to be hard to explain your Lara Croft screensaver running on a giant 1.5 meter mirror if you ever have a lady friend over.

If there's anything less cool than namechecking Lara Croft this century it's getting her name wrong. That's the sort of thing your grandparents do when trying to be down with the kids.

Phil, relax, it's just a dumb joke.

These things cost about 40000 $ US :)

I have read that the Sidekick II is a wonderful unit. Have you tested it and what do you think?

This screen does look fantastic for gaming, but I do not see it for $4k US. Converting the price from Euros to Dollars, the cheapest one is about $21,650 US.

At $4k, I think they would sell more and actually get the well paid gamers :)
