    I'd like to know if any members from the board tested the Fourthview Theater in 2002 or 2003.

    The non obvious link between Sony's Fourthview Theater and the Playstation2 is the fact that the entire thing runs on PS2 hardware.

    I have the software (found on the emulation hdd of a ps2 devkit used by the company Pony Canyon) that can display a 360° video either on a set of 3 screens, allowing for a 220° field of view, or on a pair of Sony Glasstron with embedded headtracking.
    I don't have those, so if anyone has them and a PS2 to do some testing, feel free to PM me.

    Thanks.

    A little 360° picture extracted from a Fourthview video, if you can guess what band is on it, I might release the player...

    Some of them look like they could have been members of Runaway Five or DCMC.
