Head tracking via my IR cameras (XYZ).
Battle replay through my custom display engine.
First triple-monitor setup with zero distortion.
VR meets the real world. the plane is always in center

John Thunder kind of setup.

with only 2 cam global shutter IR cameras +light filter and 5 ir led
Who?
Lol, had to look him up. Btw did you notice the image keeps the same apparent size even as the camera moves? That’s the head-coupled magic at work.

Amazing work indeed.

stay tuned, more to come: full 6DoF, onboard camera filming live, and my AI-coupled mascot "Thunder Eve" — she's still learning to walk. The sky isn't my limit.While I applaud the effort, I don’t quite see what this has to do with VR. It’s basically only a multi-monitor setup, no?

To clarify: the shader fixes the rendered scene onto a virtual cylinder behind my monitors (~-450mm, radius ~600mm). Ray casting only goes through the physical panels, so the bezels block exactly what real window frames would. Same geometric relationship as VR, but my physical monitors are the windows.
What’s interesting in my setup: central is 3800x1600, laterals are 1080x1920 portrait. Nobody normally gets clean alignment with such PPI/resolution mismatch — that’s the point of the demo. This is just a replay, but I’ll soon repost with full 6DoF using a glasses-mounted webcam, which will make the effect much clearer.
Here’s the paradox: everything looks “normal” to you precisely because the correction is perfect. A camera filming three monitors in real-time normally produces visible distortion because there’s no perspective correction. The fact that you see nothing off is the proof it works — perfect coherence becomes invisible.
A successful illusion disappears. If it looked “wrong” you’d be impressed. Because it looks natural, your brain accepts it as normal — and that’s the entire point. Compare with any other triple-monitor setup filmed with a moving camera and you’ll see warping at panel junctions and stretched edges. Mine has none of that.
