So Um... Those Giant Tv Projection Lens Things...

[markusdragon]

Has anyone actually tried any of these giant TV lens thingies. I mean, I can see how they'd work, because they're just a camera obscura, but just how well do they work.
Recon if I get one and a blackout curtain, I'd be able to play really big Halo 2?

i saw a "test" on the nerd-show "brainiacs". it didn't really work well. a TV isn't bright enough.

but you can build a projector relatively simple and cheap with an overhead projector and a lcd-matrix.

I made one once. It worked sure enough, but the image wasnt particularly bright.

You'll need blackout curtains and a projector screen for it to be usable.

I was wondering, if I could chuck and old GBA-lcd to a slide-projector...
