ARCO and Norsk Hydro have installed immersive visualization rooms, based on the CAVE™ invented at the University of Illinois, which consist of four projection surfaces—three orthogonal flat vertical walls and the floor. The images on the walls are rear projected, while the image on the floor is projected from the top down. The sense of immersion is achieved by engaging peripheral vision and by stereo projection of the data. In these environments, the data surround the interpreter, actually appearing to fill the room.
