Hey Everybody! We'll be taking a trip down to "The Cave" at the CCIT this Wednesday (3/26/08), and will be meeting at the tables outside of where Burger King is at the Student Union at 4:45pm- please be on time so we don't make them wait! (If you can't meet us there, we're meeting the guy who's giving us the tour at 5pm at his office in room 306 of the CCIT building, or let one of us know you'll be coming so you can just call us when you get there).

Here's a description of "The Cave": AZ-LIVE is a room where university researchers, faculty, and students can be immersed in a three dimensional, computer generated world. The environment combines 3D computer graphics, stereoscopic projection technology, acoustical tracking devices, and four-channel audio to create the illusion of being present in a virtual world. The reconfigurable projection walls allow users to view their virtual worlds in an intimate CAVE-like enclosure, a slightly larger immersive theater, or a very large flat vertical display. The environment also utilizes a multi-processor, high performance computing workstation capable of handling and displaying large datasets. The advanced projection and tracking system, along with the computing technology in AZ-LIVE, combine to create an environment in which a wide range of applications, models, and virtual worlds can be displayed and navigated interactively.

It's going to be a really exciting experience and we hope to see you there!
