Apple Hiperwall.

Not emulation related, but I found this rather intriguing not to mention. Imagine a HUGE screen to deliver the slightest detail on a science experiment... Now multiply it by 50! Impossible? These guys at University of California, managed to make it happen! Fifty 30" Apple cinema displays to make a huge ultra high-resolution screen. Read more about it here. (How about playing Quake on this one eh? ) ;)
