First up, Forza Motorsport 2. I actually have this game working with FIVE screens now but not in these pics. The idea is to have actual working left and right rearview mirrors and I believe I've got it figured out. The Xbox 360 can only output a single rearview cam, but it gave me something to work with and all I had to do with split it into two monitors and then hide 50% of each. I'll post pics of that once it's finished.

Triple 55" mini-LED's and the FOV is pretty close. I think I need to move the monitors back about 4 more inches.
 
Okay I now have 5 Xbox 360's linked to 5 screens. I am using two 15.6" monitors as rear view mirrors by using a POV trick to block half of the screens (since they are CENTER only cams) via my DSD switch panels. In this way, the left 50% is visible and the right 50% is visible as you can see. This is not ideal, but it was to show my proof of concept and now I will be using two identical (I hope) Samsung Galaxy S9 or better phones via an HDMI>USB-C capture card and camera software that will allow me to zoom and scroll the image from the Xbox 360. In this way, I will have a complete left/right image on each rearview mirror. I will then mount the phones to adjustable stalks from my rig that will allow me to overlay them onto the screen "mirrors" thus hiding them.

As far as I know, nobody has attempted this on PC much less console! And I already have it working on a single Galaxy S10+ so I know it will work. I just need a matching pair of cellphones that will fit the automotive mirror housings that I will be using.

I've included a video link so you can see it in action.
