CAVE is an immersive 270° panorama screen primarily used for presentations to large groups of students. OmniFocus projection maximizes the shadow-free zone in our installation of the Elumenati‘s 8m GeoDome Panorama, so up to 40 people can share the space. Without headsets, the shared space sets the stage for spontaneous interactions with the content and one another. It’s also logistically smoother than managing 40 headsets at once, especially post-pandemic.
Another use case for the CAVE is as part of our virtual production pipeline, using the Elumenati’s WorldViewer and Omnity plugin for the Unity game engine. This allows us to collaborate inside the 3D environment and demo content for clients.
