Large-Scale Hybrid Reality Environment Aids Researchers

When you think of the word cave, you might think of a dark, hidden place, right? Not anymore. The CAVE™ and CAVE2™, developed by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), create a virtual environment, somewhat like the holodeck on “Star Trek,” which can be used for many types of research. CAVE is an acronym for CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment.
