The guys at ElectricTV.com posted this video of a virtual roller coaster test. The tester (or is it testee?) stands in the middle of a small room and the perspective of the rider is projected onto the walls, floor and ceiling for a mini iMax like 3d visual effect. The effect is awesome and the viewer can readily see how this sort of first person run through can really can give one a feel for the ride. Hope this tool leads to ever more exciting and unexpected thrill rides for the future.
On a side note: this is a room every coaster addict should have in their house so geniuses, commence with Kickstarter campaign...now.
