MellaniuM and the CAVEUT tele-immersion project
Mellanium has started to port its 3D environment Virtual Real World products into the CAVEUT . CAVEUT is an open source freeware project to make tele-immersive projection-based virtual reality affordable and accessible.
CAVEUT is available in various versions from simple home made to advanced real-time spatial tracking and stereo graphic imaging. By employing a commercially available 3D engine (UE2-3) richly detailed graphics, high-speed performance, in-built physics/sound engine, a scripting language interpreter, with very robust networking system for shared environments.
CAVEUT modifies the 3D engine to enable multi-screen displays in an enclosure creating a visually surroundings immersive virtual reality application. Applications developed inherit all UE capabilities along with authoring support, open source code, content library, and the large user community (tutorials, forums, etc.).
CAVEUT also supports stereographic imaging using a stereographic projector for active stereo and when used in combination with a head tracker, active stereo allows unrestricted viewing angles.
When a CAVEUT installation is used with the Virtual Real World 3D environments from MellaniuM the tele-immersive experience is truly awesome. Only imagination and budget limits the possibilities.
