POHow to program a delay of video presentation across shared monitors?

copied!<p>I am looking for a decent programmatic approach to delivering the illusion of "riding in a van". Here is the synopsis:</p> <p>I have a friend who is opening up a bar in San Francisco with a room interior designed to be like the inside of a van (picture the inside of the <em>Scooby Doo Mystery Machine</em>) . Set into the walls are “windows” and behind those windows are monitors. There are two servers (for the left and right sides) that are delivering simultaneous presentations from pre-recorded footage of a vehicle driving down the road.</p> <p>At the moment the screens are split across a shared workspace so as items in the background move from the right to the left the impression of motion is flawless. However, once you move the screens apart there is no delay for empty "wall space" or the natural delay that one would expect to perceive as an object progresses from one screen through the space in the wall to the next screen.</p> <p><strong>Is there a managed code approach I could take to construct a project that could take a time delay argument for delivering content between monitors in this case?</strong> Or is there even an off-the-shelf program that might do the trick as well?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p><strong>What I am really looking for is advice on how to program this: Can I load in a windows media file and stream it to separate monitors on separate threads with a slight delay?</strong></p>
