VR-CAVE as a multimodal interaction environment
Wingly Shih · Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia · 2005
This research focused on building a software system on VR-CAVE for multiple users’ interaction with various media, alongside simultaneous communication amongst users. While all users interact with virtual objects in VR-CAVE concurrently, by means of several kinds of input device, including conventional mouse and keyboard, PDAs, mobile phones and laptops, users can communicate with each other through the most natural way at the same time. The system prototype was implemented and still in development for extension on the strength of supporting more input device and media formats. Further research would make VR-CAVE not only a representing tool, but a platform for design communication and evaluation, or a collaborative design environment.
