  About the CAVE
Shortly after the first CAVE was built at EVL, a second CAVE was built by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois.
This CAVE is located at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Technology in Urbana, Illinois and is used by NCSA's Visualization and Virtual Environments Group to conduct various types of research in the fields of virtual reality and scientific visualization.
The CAVE Wand is also attached to the Tracker Control Unit via a wire and allows you to walk around (with the joystick in the middle) or interact with the virtual world through the push buttons.

A Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (better known by the recursive acronym CAVE) is an immersive virtual reality environment where projectors are directed to four, five or six of the walls of a room-sized cube.
The first CAVE was developed in the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at University of Illinois at Chicago and was announced and demonstrated at the 1992 SIGGRAPH.

The tooth cave spider lives on cave walls and ceilings of the Edwards Plateau in Travis County, Texas and near Austin.
Cave inhabiting animals can be categorized as troglobites (cave limited-species), troglophiles (species which can live their entire lives in caves, but also occur in other environments), trogloxenes (species which utilize caves, but must leave the caves to complete their life cycle) and accidentals.
Because of the fragile nature of the cave ecosytem, and the fact that cave regions tend to be isolated from one another, caves harbor a number of endangered species, such as, for example the Tooth cave spider, Liphistiidae Liphistius trapdoor spider and the Gray bat.

 Overture - Through the Looking Glass
There is an evocative echo in virtual environments of the earliest known form of human expression – the prehistoric cave paintings found at such sites as the caves of Lascaux in the south of France.
These immersive environments, dating from 15,000 BC, are thought by scholars to have been theaters for the performance of rituals that integrated all forms of media and engaged all the senses.
The Ames VIEW system (an acronym for Virtual Interface Environmental Workstation) included a headset with two small liquid crystal display screens, a microphone for speech recognition, earphones for surround-sound effects, a head-tracking device, and dataglove to recognize the user's gestures and place them within the virtual environment.

 Defense applications of the CAVE™   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The CAVE uses "window" projection where the projection plane and the center of projection relative to the plane are specified for each eye, thus creating an off-axis perspective projection.
In the CAVE and other head-tracked virtual environments, the perspective view is generated using the direction-of-projection determined by the measured position and orientation of the operator's head.

 A Virtual Reality Theater | Virginia Tech
Virtual reality may best be defined as the wide-field presentation of computer-generated, multi-sensory information that tracks a user in real time.
As a viewer wearing an electromagnetic sensor, images move within the display boundaries, the correct perspective and stereo projections of the environment are updated by a computer, and the images move with and surround the viewer.
"CAVE," the name selected for the virtual reality theater, is both a recursive acronym (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) and a reference to "The Simile of the Cave" found in Plato's Republic, in which the philosopher explores the ideas of perception, reality, and illusion.

 Multimedia – From Wagner to Virtual Reality
The immersive experience of the CAVE was intended as an allusion to Plato's cave; its multiple screens and surround-sound audio evoke the metaphor of a shadowy representation of reality, suggesting how perception is always filtered through the mind's veil of illusion.
Unlike other systems of virtual reality such as Scott Fisher's VIEW, the properties of the CAVE are enhanced by the interplay between the real and the virtual.
The CAVE immersant does not experience disembodiment, but rather is viscerally aware of his or her physical presence "on stage" amidst the animated imagery and orchestrated sound.

 Simulation in a virtual combat environment puts surgical skills to the test
Virtual environments have proven to be effective in training dismounted soldiers and military checkpoint guards, for example.
Furthermore, stress created by the simulated environment may have caused some students to engage in inappropriate and dangerous behavior that would likely result in their being killed in a real combat situation.
