    Evolution of the carpc? nope just a crazy idea

    I got bored last night and thought of creating a portable Drive-in

    What came out of it was a projector in the boot/trunk of the car hooked up to the carpc for a DVD and emulation

    The whole idea is to park infront of a wall project the image onto it and then send the audio by a FM transmitter to other people watching.

    Don't know if it's a good idea or not yet i was just testing it out with it being powered by the car

    Sorry for the pics i have the camera freehand and had to turn the aperture up (it's never a good idea to use it without a tripod)

    Anyway here is Macgyver being projected onto the side of a 5ton truck it's maybe 12ft long?


    And here is sonic from a megadrive/genesis emulator


    the sonic picture is probably a better idea of how bright macgyver actually was
