Output Game View to 3 projectors connected to PC
Hello, I started using Unity a month ago for a project in my University and now I have a project where the game must be output to 3 projectors.
To get the idea of the room, there are 3 projectors forming the upper half of the hexagon
_
/ \\
just to get a rough idea, but their edges are close to each other without space in between.
The desktop i have works just fine with these ( i have 3 monitors and each monitor represents a projector wall, whatever this monitor shows is visible through the projector ) but i have to use Unity now and the game view must be extended Full screen to the whole area.
Is there any way i can do this through Unity ? Or anythign outside i can try to get the result i want ?
edit (moved from answer)
I think i wasn't clear enough.
I have my setup working as wanted with Windows 7. My 3 monitors works as extensions to the desktop with the normal windows etc.
What i want is Unity to fill all 3 monitors when in full screen instead of just the one it's inside. Something like eyefinity. The game should be played across the 3 monitors.
I hope now that it is clear.
I have read your links btw but i already have the setup ready as i said.
Thanks in advance.

You'll want to make sure that the screen resolution is the full width of all monitors, not a collection of individual monitors. There used to be a very cool 1-to-3 adaptor which made this all very easy, can't seem to find it.
I might not have made clear that i have the setup working as expected with the PC in Windows 7. I have the three monitors set up and each monitor represents one of the projector walls in the room. Everything in Windows is fine. I just want Unity to extend its window to fill the whole space.
If i press full screen it just maximizes in one monitor only. I want it to expand on all of them.
I hope i am clear on what i want.
what graphics card(s) are you using?
Just to make sure i understand your issue - Is the application working as expected with displays but NOT with projectors? If so: a few things to check: 1. compare native resolution of monitors and projectors. The projectors should have the same display resolution as your monitors. 2. Can you post a photo(s) showing how it looks with monitors vs. projectors? 3. Also - tell us if you're using dvi, hdmi, etc.
