[4eyes] CAVE structure

[Tobias Hollerer]

Dear colleagues,

We (the 4EYES lab) have some large-ish equipment (3 8x8 foot screens and 
mounting enclosures)
that could potentially be a great resource for immersive visualization 
projects or interactive
installations, but we are losing the space that has temporarily stored 
that material and so we are
facing the situation that we may have to scrap the equipment.

Before that happens (the space needs to be cleared by the end of the 
year!!), I would like to inquire
with you if you see any good uses for (parts of) the equipment and/or 
know of any suitable storage
spaces.

The equipment represents the display surfaces of a 3-sided CAVE 
(immersive projection environment)
(see attached CABANA paper and photos of the partially assembled 
materials I took yesterday). The
screen material is heavy-gauge Fresnel-Lenticular Lexan(tm) and if 
nothing else it may be worthwhile
to salvage this screen material, which is ideal for back-projection.

As you can see from the photos, the size of the structure (8x8' screen 
segments) make it a bit unwieldy
and requires large storage spaces. I think we could barely get it to the 
2nd floor of CNSI, but not into
any of the labs, as the doors are too small.

Thanks for any ideas for usage and/or storage. If we can't find a 
solution, the material will be dumped.
Cheers,

     Tobias
