Mechdyne Unveils Small Form Factor CAVE Solution

By DE Editors

Mechdyne announced the successful design of the company’s first Small Form Factor Computer Aided Virtual Environment (SFF CAVE) system for commercial and educational visualization. The immersive solution utilizes new active stereo screen segments that dramatically reduce the footprint associated with conventional CAVE systems, while at the same time maintaining the high resolution and brightness of traditional immersive environments.

Historically, in order to accommodate the support structure and projectors, a standard projection CAVE environment required a facility space four to five times larger than the usable workspace. Mechdynes SFF design compacts the overall system footprint significantly,  allowing a 10 foot x 10 foot usable workspace to be incorporated within 14 foot x 18 foot area.

Mechdynes SFF CAVE could also be attractive to organizations with leased space, as the system requires minimal facility changes and may be easily relocated.

This quarter, Mechdyne is expanding its SFF technology into its FLEX solution. The FLEX is a reconfigurable VR environment that transforms from a CAVE configuration to a flat display, an immersive room, or an angled wall. Depending upon the situation, both the CAVE and FLEX solutions may accommodate either floor or ceiling projection options. Also, both of these immersive solutions can be custom designed to fit specific structures and applications.
