3D-MOVE - Prototype 1
The 3D Mobile Visualization Environment (3D-MOVE) – a lightweight and portable projection-based multi-user VR system – enables users to interact with the model data and each other in practical settings. The 3D-MOVE solution maintains the capability of high-end solutions such as CAVE, but as a low-cost solution designed to be quickly assembled on site addresses the common challenges of fixed location and cost associated with using CAVE.
3D-MOVE - Prototype 2
The second prototype features a more flexible design to accommodate the needs to display information in more immersive or multi-modal way. The joints are designed with the notches that allow the screens to be adjusted from a fully open (flat) three-screen display to the cube-like shape. The display is currently used in teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
