Looking For The Ideal Cave CAVE 1.0 Functional Covering 1 CAVE 1.0 Architecture Functional covering Process Interior Perceived Quality & Style, HMI « too small, too dark, too slow … » Exterior Perceived Quality & Style
Looking For The Ideal Cave We need a CAVE … 1 … bigger … brighter … with more pixels … more powerfull … with bigger haptic displacement
Looking For The Ideal Cave CAVE Design Fitting with End-User Needs 1 16x 4K Projectors Pixel size: 0.7 mm CAVE Size: 6 m x 3 m High Level Brightness About 50 cluster nodes OK… But…
Looking For The Ideal Cave CAVE Design Fitting Operator Constraints 1 Availability Investments & Controlled Maximized Operating Costs Investments, Operating Costs & unavailability is proportional to the number of projectors
