First draw-down of the 220 degree collimating mirror.

How did you calculate the angles needed? Is this a multiple projector set up?

Once you know the right shape, is it then possible to have these mirrors permanently formed using the same production techniques like used for show security mirrors?

@dinther: No.

vicorly, the video shows what is known as a collimating mirror. This is used for creating visuals in commercially produced full flight simulators. Ours covers 220 degrees horizontally and 40 degrees vertically, which is on par with currently available systems. Check Wikipedia for "full flight simulator" to see how it works.

Thanks for the question!
