Has anyone attempted to hook up say a small projector in the back of the sleeper to project onto a windshield curtain?
I'm certain some cabs can be outfitted with a curtain for privacy, just try and find a white curtain with as close to 1.0-1.3 gain then project onto it!
Could get as many as 3 large screens using pico projectors. I'd use sonys MP-CL1 laser projectors as they are very compact, you can even cast directly from your phone using miracast, oh just don't look into the beam!
Maybe even use the space behind the chairs so the beam is harder to get direct eye contact with. You can get decent results with even a short throw.
It uses hdmi too so with a good enough computer you could stitch say 3 of them together using eyefinity or NVidia surround and have the entire windshield be one large screen. Just a thought.
Also since they are battery powered and charge with a standard mini usb, you could just get a couple usb battery banks to keep them running 5-7 ish hours depending on the capacity, this way your projectors are completely wireless if using miracast and only hdmi connections if you decide to make a multi projector display. Just recharge the battery banks when you are driving.
Would work the same with a curtain that just blocks out the sleeper but that takes living space away if your solo.

Also, its only 34?ish lumens and there are other led solutions that are cheaper as well.

Thought about it but the 19 inch flat screen is plenty for me. I did have a projector in my houses for TV and movies. Love that 'going to the movies' feeling. It projected about a 12 foot spread on the wall widescreen. Problem was I had to put blackout tint on the kitchen and living room windows. The family calls me Vampire to this day.

Also my projector was in the basement of my house, no need to blackout windows. I bet the sacrifice was worth it tho!scottied67 Thanks this.
