Forza motorsport

I am up in one of our offices in Cambridge on a workshop a the moment. In the main foyer, there is a pod demonstrating a new Xbox game, Forza motorsport. It seems to be a really good game (not that I am any kind of expert you understand) but what makes this installation particularly cool is that there is a (undocumented, I think) feature that allows Forza to use up to four extra Xbox units as rendering engines (communicating over the network) and here they have it configured with three screens that wrap around you showing the view to the sides as well as dead ahead. Obviously the input in this case is via a sterring wheel and a set of pedals, but there is also a racing seat that is fitted with actuators to feedback bumps and crashes.

Awesome! I just need to get the finance director to sign off two more Xboxes and three LCD screens...
