it seems like a good idea for Internet gaming cafe but the cost and having to stand and the room needed and the quality of the video and having to change the setting for every game....

Having said that I think he's going for the wrong target market. The average consumer, even the hardcore simply will not buy this, for obvious reasons really i.e. size, cost (projector) e.t.c.

However there is a potential for him to sell it to places such as game conferences for booths and tournaments big LANs e.t.c.]]>May 12th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/12/jdome-surrounds-you-with-180-degrees-of-gaming-and-public-shame/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/12/jdome-surrounds-you-with-180-degrees-of-gaming-and-public-shame/
