[4eyes] [faculty] CAVE structure

[JoAnn Kuchera-Morin]

Thanks Tobias, As we discussed, this may work in the hallways of CNSI  
second floor if Bob will allow it., especially if we can do front  
projection with projectors mounted where they currently are.

Matt, I wonder if it could work in 2809 in place of the screens we  
have in there although we would have to do front projection with the  
Christies. Also not sure how big the door is.
