Overview
The CUBE
stands for Computer-driven Upper Body Environment. It is a 360° display environment composed of four 32”X28” rear-projected Plexiglas screens. Guests stand inside the CUBE, which is suspended from the ceiling, and physically turn around to view the screen surfaces. The screens are approximately 1’ from a guest’s face and extend down to his or her midsection.
The CUBE was created in February 2000 by three Entertainment Technology Masters students at Carnegie Mellon University. The primary goal of the project was to explore the immersive potential of a small, CAVE-like display device for real-time interaction. The team was interested in investigating the largely unexplored continuum between full-sized CAVEs and head-mounted displays.
