Mount your monitor on the ceiling over your head at about a 45 degree angle. Mount a mirror on your desk where your monitor traditionally is placed, aimed at the monitor. Use software to reverse the screen image, or have this built into the monitor.
(inspired by a [madness] rant)

I'd be inclined to wear a crash helmet. |
|
| |
We'll let you mount it over the desk behind you. |
|
| |
Considering who's behind me...where's the installation instructions-bun remains, (removes crash helmet and hides it so that it is nowhere near the desk behind me) |
|
| |
You'd only be able to look at the
monitor from one position. |
|
| |
How many positions do you need? |
|
| |
I guess you could set up a few mirrors, if you don't mind a bit of skew. |
|
| |
Well, I guess it depends on what you're
doing. But I tend to need to look at the
screen while I'm doing stuff, rather than
just sitting in front of it. And, if I want
to show someone else something on
the screen (as often happens), I don't
want us to have to press our cheeks
together in order to both see the
screen. |
|
| |
[World] Given that you have a computer
and, presumably, a mirror - have you
tried this (even sans reversing
software)? (I confess, I haven't). |
|
| |
No mirrors here. Don't know if I own a hand mirror - I'll check with the wife. |
|
| |
Oh, and seems to me that a simple swivel of your desk mirror would solve all but the 2-person issues. |
|
| |
Hmmm. I just tried reading this page
from six feet away, and it was not good.
Of course, this may be because I have
spent a lifetime about 18 inches from
the screen. |
|
| |
It's also because your screen looks smaller from 6' away. It would help to make the ceiling monitor much larger. Maybe even use a projection screen. |
