Hmmmm...
Migh be useful if it were wrapped around the inside of a cylinder
like some of those 360 degree surround presentations at Disney World.
But 5:1 is WAY too wide to map to the human visual field. There's a
reason that iMax has moved to screens with a 1:1 aspect ratio. You
need to fill the entire visual field to get total realism, not a
narrow horizontal stripe across the middle of the viewing field.
This is reminiscent of some of the shows I put together while working
for GVG. In 1982 I did a four monitor show where stuff moved across
four monitors (not seamless). Then in 1984 we did the show with two
Eiodophos seamed together.
