Students Building Unique CAVE Game

This semester, a motivated team of AIMS students are working to build a unique game that takes advantage of the unique qualities of a 4-walled CAVE display system. Players will be able to literally step into the immersive 3D game environment and interact with the environment using motion-tracked controls.  Details to follow…

    3D is largely relegated to eye-candy these days, with 2D controls and traditional user interfaces plus some "pop-out" imagery.  However, I have high hopes that 3D can become much more as we find creative ways to expand user experiences and create truly 3D user interfaces.  The Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect systems are good examples of movement in this direction ... continue
