Multi Mega Book
THE CAVE
Is one of the Ars Electronica Center’s most popular installations, is a cube measuring 3 x 3 x 3 meters. One side is open; the interior walls constitute its projection surfaces. In the CAVE, several individuals can simultaneously experience a virtual, three-dimensional world. The simulation technology installed here has reached such a level of sophistication that it actually gives users the feeling of being part of the installation. Doing away with the need for a data helmet—which isolated users from their environment—makes it possible for a group to visit the CAVE installation together—a social act in a virtual space.
In the Virtual Cavern: ART
MULTI MEGA BOOK
In Multi Mega Book, Franz Fischnaller and Yesenia Maharaj Singh enable visitors to experience two epochs of human history: the Renaissance and the Digital Age. A virtual companion named Nem accompanies travelers along an adventurous path from an idealized Renaissance town to a futuristic Cybercity. In the process, Multi Mega Book subtly illustrates a bit of the history of media and culture: the way leading from the printed page to the electronic transmission of information.
