CAVE and ImmersaDesk

The CAVE and ImmersaDesk are projection-based virtual reality display technologies developed by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The CAVE is a multi-person, room-sized, high resolution, 3-D video and audio environment; it is a 10x10x9 foot theater made up of three rear-projection screeens for walls and a down-projection screeen for the floor. The ImmersaDesk is a drafting-table format virtual prototyping device designed as a single-user application development station. The CAVE software library supports both these displays as well as a workstation-based CAVE simulator. Companies can purchase these technologies as well as collaborate with the Electronic Visualization Laboratory on virtual reality research.
