Visiting a 3D Cave – A Wrapup

On Nov. 27th I organized a trip to Graz, where the Institute for Computer Graphics and Visualization (CGV) of Graz University of Technology has a 3D cave installation called DAVE (Definitely Affordable Virtual Environment). 26 people and me took the bus to Graz and experienced a whole lot of interesting virtual environment effects. The cave itself gives a great insight on “what is possible” and we all were really amazed what can be done with proper equipment and – of course – a lot of work. Marcel Lancelle and Volker Settgast were excelleent hosts and explained the whole things and virtually left no questions unanswered. Check out the photos and the videos of the trip

Blogs are buzzing and word got out that we might expect a launch of the infrared based XBox controller-free control thingy (basically a 3D camera) in Nov. 2010. 14 games using Natal are planned and a price tag of 55$ is mentioned
