NSWCs CAVE

• The CAVE consists of three rear-projected screens
  that make up the walls and a floor surface that
  is projected from above. Models and environments
  are projected simultaneously on all four
  surfaces. When viewed using stereoscopic shutter
  glasses, the virtual environment displayed in the
  CAVE creates an effect that makes the users feel
  immersed in the space.
• Display Size
• 10 H x 10 W x 10 D
• Projection System
• CRT projection
• Resolution from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 _at_ 96Hz
• Stereoscopic Eyewear
• Five pairs of active shutter glasses
• IR boosted signal reduces the number of emitters
  needed to transmit signal to and from the glasses
• Tracking
• Electromagnetic tracking system with two sensors
  one for the head/glasses and one for the
  hand/device
