ST Engineering Antycip has delivered VR CAVEs (Cave Automatic Virtual Environments) for its long-standing partner, Oxford Brookes University.
The brief from the university was to enhance its research and teaching facilities in engineering and computing using virtual technology.
This virtual environment comprises two modes of operation: ‘Unique mode‘, whereby only the primary user’s vision is tracked and dynamically corrected to their eyes, and ‘Multiview mode’, which allows two people to be tracked and each see a different perspective-corrected image when wearing the corresponding 3D glasses.
The CAVE is capable of delivering high resolution visuals at 2560x1600 pixels per face, offering 3840x2400 pixels at 120Hz. Vicon tracking cameras and two wireless navigation devices support the simultaneous tracked dual perspectives, making this CAVE a step up from the restrictions of the past where only one person could be afforded their corrected view.
