MAVRC features several virtual reality systems capable of immersing multiple users in virtual and mixed reality environments. The 4-sided CAVE™ system located at the Joint Health Science Center in Camden provides 1 to 4 people wearing stereoscopic glasses to explore data on 4 projected walls (including the floor). Users are tracked in real-time using an active infrared tracking system to pinpoint the user’s location and provide an immersive experience. 

MAVRC has a one-of-a-kind 10-sided walk-in Virtual Reality system for groups as large as 15 people for viewing virtual reality environments as well as displaying information, live-feeds, and tele-video conferencing

10-Sided CAVE System

Location: South Jersey Technology Park 

Facility Features:

Render computer cluster capable of producing 3D stereoscopic 10800x1920 resolution imagery across 10 screens assembled to form a continuous curve.

Polycom video conferencing hardware and software for routing visualization information and videoconferencing

An 8-camera motion tracking system, tracking the position and orientation of users
