“The goal of this project is to demonstrate that the CAVE Simulator, when combined with Limbo and CCC awareness tools can be used to deliver a collaborative virtual design environment with an emphasis on HCI and usability.”

!!! IDEA !!! The CAVE desktop simulator allows
desktop-to-desktop collaborative designwith a fully immersive option
