Several years ago I took advantage of digital fabric printing services to create functional and attractive sound-absorbing acoustic panels with movie poster art, suitable for home theater installations. Getting a hold of high-quality digital sources for movie posters sometimes presented a problem, particularly for fans of older movies. This is a great resource, and I'm already plotting on a few new pieces to make!
The total cost of the 4 posters in the OP shown there was $80 - these things aren't expensive to build!
I recently moved to a new place and we don't have a dedicated HT space any longer, which is mostly due to lack of use. Our viewing habits have changed and these days I get more value out of a dedicated VR space than we would out of a theater.
Having said that, sound-absorbing panels are useful in all sorts of living spaces and I still intend to hang my existing panels and add a few new ones should the right poster art come along.
You've piqued my interest about your VR space. What sort of dedicated VR space do you have? What kind of VR content do you watch mostly - is it traditional 2D movies or 3D/VR movies?
Well that's the thing with a VR space - the only requirement is square footage and a fast computer, so it's nothing much to look at from the outside. As far as content, we don't tend to "watch" much of anything as the real fun in VR is in interactive content.
We still watch traditional movies, but do so now in our living room on a regular flat-panel television and are none the worse off for it. My 92" projection screen is hanging on my call without a projector, and nobody is in a hurry to get it running here in the new space.
