The CAVELib is compatible with most spatially immersive i3D displays. All CAVELib versions above 2.7 provide support for the original CAVE structure, as well as the ImmersaDesks, Reality Centers, tiled walls and other devices of that type. This chapter is designed to provide general configuration information for each of the aforementioned displays. Specific set-up for commercial displays is available directly through VRCO, Inc. or the display manufacturer.
Before discussion of software configuration, some general background may be necessary regarding the various components of a virtual reality display. The information below is generic and will vary from system to system. If you are new to VR displays, this information will give you a background, and if you are familiar with VR displays you can proceed to your type of display's configuration section.
