Sim Icarus Boeing 777 Handmade Flight Deck

ShadowsMV writes "Three technology students finishing up their degrees at the DuPage Campus of DeVry University spent a term designing and building one of the most nifty flight simulators yet. Named the Sim Icarus Flight Deck, it accurately recreates the primary flight accessory controls of the Boeing 777, and interfaces directly with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. They have tons of pictures and lists of everything you need! Previous flight decks featured on slashdot include An awesome homebuilt and wideview with 13 Monitors And 9 PCs."

I was Building a 757 and gave up lack of $.

I reserched for a year I wanted to build one. I even got the software woking with 6 computers. But after the evaluation of the cost of building the quality sim that I wanted I concluded that it would coust me about 10-15 thosand dollers.

3D idea for this setup

You know what would be cool is to:

Rig up a dual projector setup in front of this sim
Have the projected images overlap one another
Place a polarizing filter over each projector
Adjust each filter to be 90 degrees out of phase with the other

Slap on some cheap 3D glasses, and tada, 3D flight simulator.

(I think) Anyone know if this would this work? I've always wanted to try this.
