Quick update: I've added some detail to the screens. I don't want to go too far with the detail because this stuff should be utilitarian. As it is the wires are rather silly, but they do look neat.

If the previous post does not make any sense, please adjust your brain and try again.

ohhh.... I really like that idea!

This is shaping up nicely! I really like the shape of the seat so far too.
I kind of wish there were monitors right in front of the seat though. It's a shame to not have something right in front where your eyes see the very best.

nice job!

While I agree the moving chairs would be cool, I'm designing this to fit in another project (my destroyer) so there are constraints on the design.

As for the central screen, I agree. I just can't think of an easy way to get the screens to fold up with one. I'll try one more thing though, it may work.

I've got a setup that allows for screens in the center. The screens rotate to the side instead of up. I'm short a screen now though... any ideas?

Another quick update. I've rebuilt the back of the screens a bit to accommodate the middle ones. I may add some more cables, I think they look neat.

Last update for tonight. I've done the swing arm that supports the screens. I'm not sure if it looks solid enough, designing things for low gravity is difficult. The pivot is still just a basic shape.

Really cool! I like that it's fixed to the ceiling and swinging around. As a little joke you could have a cupholder next to the seat in the blocky part

Started detailing the base. I've added in a little control box, because you should never underestimate the usefulness of a well built 'OFF' button. The other buttons don't really have any reasoning behind them.

I've also started on the air supply at the back, but I'm not too pleased with it. Not sure what is bugging me but I don't like it.
