Immersive Video in a $250,000 Tractor
www.residentialsystems.com: Every August the Erie County Fair rolls into my hometown of Hamburg, NY, for 12 days. This year marks the 175th anniversary of the annual tradition, which is now the third largest fair in the country, and they have upped their game. The moment that last year’s fair ended, work on a new 60,000-square-foot Agriculture Discovery Center began. This massive building replaced three barns that previously stood on the space, and it has come with a price tag of nearly $8 million dollars.

This is pretty disappointing sounding. At first it seemed like it was the most boring training simulator of all time, however it still seemed like it would be interesting because of the integration of the physical tractor controls and the media that responds to their input. Sadly this did not even to be the case, however. If I understood the article correctly it sounds like all they did was mount two TV's in a tractor, and create a driver that starts the video once someone enters the tractor. There doesn't appear to be any user control at all, so instead of being the most boring simulator of all time, it is just the weirdest movie theater of all time.
