In car and flight sims the head is usually fixed inside the cockpit, or badly controlled (sadly), which makes you tend to turn your real head, and then the distortions and unfocus gets visible. But with a special lens and some new type of graphics drivers all this can be removed, and you can play car sims with this thing - Imagine tilting the dome over you a bit - and then you are inside the car and can look out thru the side windows! But first things first - lets get this thing out where it works from the get-go first.

I'm not crazy about the blurry-ish image that results from the conversion, but widening your field of vision certainly has it's advantages. Sweet!
