LED CAVE - New Dimensions for Large-Scale Immersive Installations
Elisabeth Mayer, Thomas Odaker, Daniel Kolb, Simone Müller, Dieter August Kranzlmüller · 2024
Virtual reality is an established tool in many areas of application, including scientific visualisation. Hardware such as head-mounted displays and immersive installations can be utilised to analyse and display data. For the most part, these types of installations are based on projectors, making them complex and require a large space. We present the concept of a new CAVE system based on the latest generation of LED panels. We report our preliminary findings based on 6 months of operation. This paper focuses on the implementation, the comparison to a traditional projector-based CAVE and early user feedback. We discuss the potential future for large-scale immersive installation systems and the possibilities opened up by the advances in LED technology.
