Recording Video in the CAVE

Authors: Mohamed Mediouni

Abstract:

Evaluating the performance of a simulator in the CAVE has to be confirmed by encouraging people to live the experience of virtual reality. In this paper, a detailed procedure of recording video is presented. Limitations of the experimental device are firstly exposed. Then, solutions for improving this idea are finally described.

Keywords: Virtual reality, CAVE, stereoscopic, camera.
