I know, right? I didn't even realize those existed. I want one!
So the monitor swivels around on the arm to face you??
Nope. I use the headset on the chair.The monitor is only to start the game - the machine is also attached to the projector upstairs for playing other games (which doesn't actually happen from the computer anymore) and watching films.

On that note,
there have been some updates to my cockpit;
1. The first portion of the upper canopy is completed! (No electronics on it yet.) It is hinged in a couple places to allow access to the computer which is behind the center monitor.
2. The videos and video players were optimized to use much less CPU power. Now, there is virtually no difference in playing ED with the videos on or off.
3. I was able to recognize game events through the Commander's Journal. I use AutoHotKey (AHK) for this. In addition, AHK also is able to control lights and such during game events. Even videos that are playing!
4. Was able to trick Roccat Tablets to "turn off" and "turn on" by command.
5. Yea, I know, the consoles are still wood-looking. Good eye! That may be the next thing to fix.
6. The back wall is still viewable. That is on the agenda too, but quite a bit later.
A HMD is the ultimate virtual reality device. What I have is reality. !!! [smile]
