MCE Turbine
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: TECHNOLOGIE TURBINE
The Ars Electronica Center developed a model of a Danube power plant’s turbine for the MCE Company. In the CAVE, the turbine’s flow properties can be tested and maintenance technicians can be trained.
