Multi-Screen Layout vs. Body Sway Paper

Found this cool paper on multi-screen layouts and their relation to immersion. In this case they related body sway (induced movement) to immersion and although I'm not sure that's the best way they did find some interesting things. Mostly that 3 screens are better than 1 (Duh) and using more than 3 screens doesn't help much. (As in using the vertical axis for display). This is pretty much what I was planning as an ideal solution and this was great in reaffirming that decision.

HERE IT IS!

I also watched The Lawnmower Man (on laser disc thank you very much) for inspiration and discovered the wonders of VR. The freaking dumb guy became smart and gained not only ESP abilities but telekinesis as well! Can't wait to see Lawnmower Man 2 where the viewer will witness what is "beyond cyberspace".
