The Duke immersive Virtual Environment (DiVE) is a 6-sided virtual reality theater. All six surfaces – the four walls, the ceiling and the floor – are used as screens onto which computer graphics are displayed. For virtual worlds designed for this system, it is a fully immersive room in which the individual (researcher, educator, etc) literally walks into the world, is surrounded by the display and is capable of interacting with virtual objects in the world. Stereo glasses provide depth perception, and a handheld “wand” controls navigation and input to into the world for manipulating virtual objects.
The DiVE is located in room 1617A CIMAS/Fitzpatrick Center. Engineering Quad, West Campus
