Greek Temple
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: ARCHITECTURE GREEK TEMPLE
Here, the architecture of Antiquity is brought to life. In a Greek council building (Bouleuterion of Miletus) restored in a manner faithful to the original, the visitor can wander across the stage, through the proscenium and the orchestra into the audience seating area. This project was produced in cooperation with the Foundation of the Hellenic World.
