Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels

Posted by timothy on from the but-how-do-the-local-burglars-look? dept.

hoagaboom writes "I had particularly ugly neighbors and a lot of LCD panels laying around, so why not build a Virtual Window? I really wanted to do full motion video, but PCI bandwidth is standing in my way. So with multiple PCIE vid cards, any suggestions on how to split a full motion video stream in Linux?"

  1. Light Of Other Days by nygeek · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Some years ago (1966) a science fiction writer named Bob Shaw wrote a slightly maudlin short story called "Light Of Other Days" (not the recent novel by Clarke and Baxter) that featured a material called "slow glass." Slow glass propagates light very slowly, so you see through it what was visible to it some amount of time in the past.

    Here's the story. The concept in the story is based on some homogeneous material, but that's a nit.

    Next project for this guy should be "slow glass."

    not only that but HE also states - just under that picture interestingly enough - "Boy, Julie was sorry to have said that she wanted to help solder".

    Now Im no rocket scientist, but I think that what he means by this is that this Julie person is a friend who helped out with soldering...

    I dunno - just a hunch.
