CAVE
The world’s first room-sized immersive environment, this three-wall and a floor projection space has been in operation (in various locations) since 1995 and continues to be a valuable development space for projects destined for stable human-subject research in the Cube. Newly reconstructed at the new ISL facility, the CAVE has expanded its capabilities with an Intersense IS-900 ultrasonic/accelerometer-based tracking system. Low latency tracking and the durability of a rigid floor make this space perfect for immersive experiments using treadmills and other sled-based simulators, research not possible in the ISL Cube. Powered by a monolithic SGI graphics supercomputer (for legacy applications) or a monolithic Windows/Intel/nVidia computer-in-a-box, researchers have a space available to them for the development of new applications and human interface devices without disturbing long-term experiments in other ISL immersive environments.
