looks like three monitors, from the holes cut in the table. I knew you could connect two monitors to a pc, but didn't know about three.

Yes, yes, I get all that, I work on PACS systems that have three or four monitors; what I'm curious about is how the projection system works.

Well, the screen has curvature, so it's most likely made of a thin sheet of plexiglass from a hardware store. Something like tissue paper is on the back of the screen to be a surface that the image will focus upon.

Under the table are projectors that are bounced against the mirrows and onto the screen. Alignment of the three projectors into one seamless image seems like it would be a huge challenge, but they did a really good job.

With the mirrors as part of the optic system, the projectors would need to be set up to project a reverse image.

OMG. My dad had a MERLIN. I used to get in trouble for leaving it on. It kicked ass.
