CAVE6D is a tool to collaboratively visualize multidimensional, time-varying, environmental data in the CAVE / Immersadesk. It provides users a Tele-Immersive Environment to interact with other users synchronously in a CAVE5D environment. For adding collaboration into the CAVE5D, the CAVERNsoft Architecture was used. Output consists of a 3 dimensional environment which displays the data set used, showing a simulation of time varying data in the Immersadesk. The user has an option of selecting the data parameters to be viewed, and can see the presance of the other networked participants in the form of an CAVE6D is part of the initiatives of the Environmental Hydrology group of the Application Technology team for the Alliance. It is a step towards providing Immersion and Collaboration technologies in Environmental Visualization.
Hardware - The distribution package needs 25MB of space, which has in it 2 demonstration data set files. The Chesapeake Bay data set is another 250MB. Would be best viewed on an Idesk driven by SGI Onyx 2 / Octane.
Software - CAVE Library, CAVERNSoft Library, pthreads patched IRIX Operating System above Irix 6.3
