Configuring a CAVE Environment

You can view objects in a configurable CAVE or head mounted display (HMD) environment with stereo and/or hand tracking. The environment is configured through an XML file containing the descriptions of the different screens used in the environment as well as stereo and head tracking options.

  1. Open a scene.

    The CAVE Configuration command lets you configure your scenario only once; you can then activate or deactivate it when needed through the CAVE command.

  2. In the Immersive Environments Files area, use the plus (+) or minus (-) signs to add or remove configuration files from the list.

    Configuration files contain information about the immersive reality environment such as the display on each physical screen, the stereoscopy mode (active or passive), or the device management (head tracking, and so on).

  3. In the Display area, set the distance between the two eyes .
  4. In the Navigation area, set the speed factor to be applied to accelerating or decelerating translations.

    This lets you define how fast you want to move in the space.

  5. In the Scenario area, select the appropriate mode to specify the relation between the console screen (referred to as the "controller") and the CAVE screens.
  6. In the Model Scale area, define the scale of the model on the CAVE screens.
  7. From the AR-VR section of the action bar, click CAVE to run your scenario.
