Aligning a Galaxy

After syncing mulitple computers using Liquid Galaxy and Google Earth, I attempted to add another row and tile a set of projectors to see if I could possibly expand our projection of earth.  Unfortunately some of my calculations were off and my abitious plan to use six computers and six projectors became too overwhelming for me.  Thankfully some of my coworkers help me hooking up the projectors, that was more of a challenge than expected. The first attempt came out looking like a jumbled mess of images. 

The bottom row, after some tweaking, I was able to get pretty well lined up. The top row proved to be more of a challenge and due to some time constraints I tossed in the towel for that day. Before giving up completely though I took some video using my iPhone of three computers and three projectors alomost lined up. There are more changes to make to keystones and yaw, pitch, and roll.

As I was working on this little project I had a few students watching me set up and they wanted to play with the flight simulator, of course I let them.

This project is far from over but the potential was clearly seen by my colleagues and myself as I was setting the projection system up.  Now its back to the drawing board to figure how to get all the calculations right.
