Encloded Five-Wall Immersive Cabin


International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC2008)

We present a novel 3D immersive environment, called the Immersive Cabin (IC). The IC is fully enclosed with an automatic door on the rear projection screen, and thus very different from existing CAVE environments. Our custombuilt system, including the construction of the projection screens and stereo projectors as well as the calibration procedure are explained in details. The projectors are driven by our Visual Computing cluster for computation and rendering. Three applications have been developed on the IC, including 3D virtual colonoscopy, dispersion simulation for urban security, and 3D imagery and artistic creations. A unified rendering pipeline for the IC based on scene graph is under development.
