CAVE technology,that means four video projectors show moving
stereo pictures, using one floor projection and three wall projections,
in a cubic space. These join together to form a continual three-dimensional
impression for the visitors. This makes the virtual representation
of individual objects or even of whole landscapes possible. Acoustically,
a spatial impression is made by the spatial representation of sound
scenarios as well as by moving sounds produced by eight loudspeakers
mounted in different places around the cube. The floor is designed
as a vibrating element. By linking several sensory impressions,
the illusion of immersion in the virtual scene is strengthened.
This is what has made CAVE installations prototypes of immersive
environments.
