Description
The NTAV UCS PC CAVE is a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) immersive environment supported by commodity based clusters of low cost PCs that can be or not connected to the internet. These reconfigurable immersive cube with multiprojetions AR and VR systems are also named Pocket CAVEs. The clusters is composed by 4 computing units with graphics input/output capabilities, including projection screens. We offer the space of Caves to provide ways of being amplified by interfaces which place us into aesthetic experiences inside interstitial zones, "interval zones", between the body and the technologies, in "moist realities" (Ascott), mixing the real and the technological virtual.
