Building a Cave

摘要

Doug Boyer, sales manager with Christie's Visual Environments team, had been working with Cornell University in New York when he heard that the Cornell's medical college was interested in a VR Cave. "I was the last vendor on board," he says. Before long, he was directly involved in installing that Cave. The biggest challenge for the installation was the small room. "Originally, we proposed a 96x96-inch viewable screen for the three walls and floor," Boyer says. "After doing the site survey and carrying a physical mock-up through the building, we determined that the largest screens could be 93x93 inches. For the screens, Christie had acrylic surfaces manufactured with a special diffusion coating.
