Virtual Reality/CAVE Software?

Posted by Cliff on from the building-your-own-digital-world dept.

WorthlessManatee asks: "I work for a company that is in the beginning stages of constructing our own CAVE and I would like some advice on a few topics. Which hardware vendors should I go through? I know of Fakespace, but are there other vendors I should be looking at? What software solution works best for a CAVE? So far I know of: VR Juggler, DIVERSE, and CAVELib? What are the pros and cons of each of them? Answers to these questions and any other hints or experiences you would care to share would be most appreciated. Thank you very much."

    "Hi, I'm admittedly worthless, so I thought I'd bump up my karma by submitting an Ask Slashdot question about something totally obscure, since the editors seem to be on an 'accept all' kick today."

    Hi, I'm a condescending jerk that wants to bump up his karma by trying to point out the silliness of an Ask Slashdot. I'm incapable of providing thoughtful input, and the idea of ignoring the subject I'm not interested in has escaped me, so I'm hoping that my critical attitude will demonstrate just how elite I am.
