Screen With 180 Degree Field of View

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the exercizes-in-skepticism dept.

emj writes to tell us project jDome has started actively soliciting consumer feedback and, of course, donations. They are currently promising to deliver their "180 degree FOV monitor" this year for a pricepoint of around $200. The videos and talk have been circulating for the last couple of weeks or so, but they have added a video of the supposed tech in action. Buyer beware, but I would love to see a couple of reviewers get ahold of this and let us know what the story is.

    You're not going to be able to see the whole screen without turning your head. Isn't the average human's field of view between 120-140 degrees? That's why you have a neck.

    That's why I have people waving their hands right at the edge of my FOV at all times.
