About your presentations

Introduction

  • Introduce everyone in your group

  • Describe your motivation

Describe what are people going to do/see?

  • What will people see in the CAVE

For Each Person

  • Describe your contributions to the project
  • What kinds of difficulties you ran into
  • How did you overcome these challenges
Safety Slides

Footwear

  • To prevent scratching and smudging the CAVE floor:
  • Shoes, bare feet, and high heels are NOT permitted in the CAVE
  • Socks are OK
  • Use surgical booties over shoes or bare feet.

Safety
Virtual reality can be disorienting. It is rare to have any problems but in case of disorientation, know these guidelines:

  • If you feel dizzy, faint, or nauseous; ask for help
  • Step out of the CAVE, remove the glasses, and sit down to gain your bearings
  • If the above symptoms persist, inform a Living Environment Laboratory staff member
  • If you know you are prone to dizziness or fainting you can choose to view the images without stepping in.

Delicate Equipment
The CAVE structure is delicate.

  • When walking in the CAVE, step only on the hard, clear plexiglass surface. There is a visible line around the edge of the plexiglass that can be helpful in distinguishing boundaries.
  • The virtual reality of the CAVE disrupts depth perception. When you are walking or reaching for an item in the CAVE make sure not to touch the projection screens that make up the walls of the CAVE.
  • Do not touch the black sensors in the corners.

The presentations should last about 10 minutes.  This means each person should speak for somewhere between two and three minutes.
