Yes, that is ArcGIS running on their screens.
It would probably be much cheaper to built a similar box yourself.
They do have splitters to make three separate screens work as one.
Then again, can’t fold everything up into a nice little all-n-one box.
Neat little toy thou.

I ran across that website just last week,
other sources of multi-head portables includes
and
The all suffer the same drawback, though. You have to have a desk deep enough to hold the computer, and then you end up with a fairly loud set of computer fans right in front of
your face (though the monitors do shield a bit of it). You are also stuck with the displays
at a fixed height off the table, not normally
one you want to spend hours looking at.
Now, if someone out there has a transportable tri-head display where everything folds up into a nice bundle and has adjustable height, that would be really cool. Anyone seen anthing like
this???
