180 grad Computer Monitor
Unlike a flat, one-dimension computer monitor, its hemispherical projection screen encircles the user, blurring the lines between the real and simulated world. It's an incredible 3D experience the whole family will enjoy. Although its patented technology is very sophisticated—color reproduction of over 16 million colors (24 bit) and a native resolution in excess of 2 million pixels—it is quite straightforward to get up and running with any pc monitor; connects to the VGA port.
