Description : 

The CAVE at the ETC is a three walled front projection space with a motion floor that allows the user to be surrounded by the experience.

 

Cavemen is a group of 7 students from the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University.  The CAVE offers a unique set of design challenges that we will explore to provide unprecedented immersive experiences. Using interactive design, unique gameplay and innovative platforms such as the PS Move and Kinect, our final product will be a CAVE experience that is enjoyable for everyone.
