So, just what is the above picture of? Did a tornado that hit my room? No, it's the start of my next screen prototype.
Design Focus:I've focused down my build priority this time on making a cost effective Home Depot materials build that only requires standard home improvement tools to build. No exotic tubing rollers in this build. This screen is also the smallest radius screen I've done. This is fitting within a 10 foot room width with standard ceiling height. In the past I've been so focused down on merely getting a screen to work, I've overlooked it's basic functionality in a house. This design is something anyone can put into a room given a weekend of build time. This will be my primary screen for testing and YouTube video content over the next few months. If it turns out to work good I might release the build instructions in detailed form to site members.
A quick overview of it's specs...Computer: i7 930 @ 4ghz, Windows 7 64 Pro, ASUS 7970 Matrix Platinum, Zotac DP-to-Dual-HDMI Active Adapter, 2x Optoma GT720.
Screen: 10 foot wide x 5 foot deep uniform circular screen. Made of 1-1/4" PVC pipe and pipe fittings, 5mm 4x8 sheet underlay plywood, 1" plastic trim purchased in 12 foot segments cut to size, used spare Rose Brand Tendo screen fabric and black velvet I have from previous builds.
Pictures:Projector mounting location test. Looks like this'll be a 60" projection height screen.
