watch your back....anyway nice idea how much did it cost until now?

[newziam]

@piromoretta. So far has cost me around $6000. That is with some custom software dev and current hardware. Still a way to go yet.

[Jazzybreaks]

that is really amazing man... where do you have the room for all of this??

and does that rear view mirror really work??? LOL

[newziam]

Luckily my folks are very understanding and I have taken over the garage. Not THAT m

uch space required really.

[herctrap]

what do you see on your mirror?

[newziam]

@herctrap currently you dont see anything. I am working on an addon that copies the gameplay to another PC on a network which then allows you to opperate that PC showing the rear view. This will then be projected outside the rear window, and the rear-view mirror will allow you to see this... very complex add-on though, and progress is slow.
