ST Engineering Antycip has delivered a three-sided immersive CAVE at the ICube laboratory at the University of Strasbourg.
This new installation enhances the InVirtuo platform, part of ICube's GAIA research cluster (Computer Graphics, Analysis and Artificial Intelligence), and forms part of the national Equipex+ Conctinuum programme, which focuses on enabling collaborative continuity between digital systems and human interaction.
Designed and integrated by Antycip, the CAVE configuration presents three specialist projection screen faces, a custom mechanical support structure, next-generation Barco I600 projectors and a high-precision custom floor surface.
The entire system has been carefully calibrated to deliver seamless visual and geometric continuity, ensuring a stable and realistic immersive experience. Thanks to this architecture, users can move freely within a real-time rendered 3D environment that dynamically adapts to their viewpoint, enabling fully immersive interaction and collaboration.
Developed to support both research and teaching, the CAVE will contribute to the work of the IGG team (Geometric and Graphical Computing) in areas such as human-computer interaction, scientific visualisation and virtual reality. It will also support teaching activities within the Image and 3D Master's programme and the Computer Science Engineering Master's track – Image, Virtual Reality, Interaction and Games.
In addition, the facility will be used for industrial services and collaborative research projects conducted through the GAIA platform.
