50K-view question:

  • For each Calit2 display, make notes about how it compares to the __immersive experience__ of the 1998 Brown Cave? (seams? head-tracked viewing? working volume size? tracking quality?)
  • Make notes about how it compares to the proposed next-gen Cave. ("desktop resolution"? brightness, contrast, seams, 3D tracking quality?)

Alternative displays & projection material

Should it be a surround Cave

  • Discuss pros and cons of a surround Cave ("6-sided" vs an Cave with open side)
  • A closed Cave lets you test the value of a closed Cave
  • What about two "half-Caves" that can move together & apart?

Screens:

  • How visible are the seams
  • are the seams better/worse than vignetting
  • How much more distorted will the image be for non tracked users
  • How does the transition from wall to floor look
  • how are the screens attached to the frame
  • how rigid are the screens, is there any sway
  • Do they have problems keeping them clean
  • Are they prepared if a screen is damaged, needs replacement

Projectors:

  • How well aligned are the projectors to the screens
  • How well are the projector pairs aligned to each other
  • How far away are the projectors (projector throw)
  • Do they do any type of projector blending

Computer/Software:

  • What software are they using to drive the displays
  • How are the computers tied together, any special networking
  • What computer configuration are they using
  • What graphics cards
  • What OS

Color Balance:

  • I would like to look at color balance adjustments
  • Are they using any type of aid to adjust color balance

3D Tracking:

  • Document the pros/cons of each 3D tracking system
  • Rate each 3D tracking system (camera, other?). Would it work well for CavePainting, ADVISER, CaveWriting, etc.?
