Mechdyne announced today that they’re upgrading a decade-old CAVE at the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) in West Virginia.
The new CAVE includes three vertical walls and an illuminated floor, with each 10 x 13 ft image surface illuminated by a 1450 x 1050 pixel Digital Projection Titan DLP projector. Mechdyne is also integrating an InterSense wireless tracking system for synchronization of stereo imagery, a Hewlett-Packard PC cluster with Nvidia Quadraplex graphics for image generation, and software modules to provide immersive stereo capability for applications from Multigen-Paradigm and Google Earth.
Don’t hear too much about CAVE’s these days with RAVE’s and NAVE’s stealing their thunder and basic stereo finally reaching down to the consumer level. Glad to see some people still see the benefits.
