CAVE5D is an ImmersaDesk application package which:

  • Integrates Vis5D and CAVE libraries Version 2.5.6 to provide interactive visualizations of time-varying, 3-dimensional data sets in an virtual environment

  • Runs on projection-based Virtual Reality (VR) devices such as the CAVE and ImmersaDesk or on graphics workstations in a CAVE-simulator mode.

  • Supports the visualization of any Vis5d file

  • Uses simple ascii configuration files to specify graphical objects at runtime.

    Controls:

    The Cave5D User's Guide describes how to run the application and build configuration files.

    Two demonstration data sets and several configuration files are provided with the Cave5D release. Both of these data sets are also distributed as part of the Vis5d package.

  • LAMPS.v5d
      This data set was generated by the Limited Area Mesoscale Prediction System around 1986, and thus represents an early effort at mesoscale weather prediction. It shows warm and cold fronts moving across the continental United States, as part of a simulation of an extratropical cyclone. To visualize this data set use the lamps.cave5d configuration file. A descriptive walk-thru example of this demo is also available.
  • SCHL.v5d
      This data set which simulates a thunderstorm was provided to Bill Hibbard by Bob Schlensinger. To visualize this data set use the tstorm.cave5d configuration file.

    Support:

    Cave5D is free software and as such we offer no formal support. However, we will be happy to answer questions and/or help with minor problems.

    Please send email correspondence to cave5d@ccpo.odu.edu and either Cathy or Glen will respond.

    A Cave5D mailing list will be developed soon.
