Measuring the Space

According to Topher, the screens are 16' wide by 12' tall. Using this Projection Distance Calculator, it looks like my Sanyo PLV-80 Projector will require a 38' 4" throw distance to fill a 16' x 12' screen. Assuming all the projectors have the same throw requirements, that means we need a space that is about 40 + 16 + 40 = 96 feet square. Perhaps some projectors have shorter throws.

    This is the biggest problem with the system. Space requirements.

    Eventual solutions:
    A. Wide angle lenses.
    B. Mirrors
    C. 2 or 4 projectors per wall. Each projector fills a quarter of the wall / This increases resolution & brightness. And decreases throw requirements.
    D. LED walls
