VR Quake 3 Arena Map Viewer

A renderer for Quake 3 Arena maps in immersive environments, based on the Aftershock rendering engine and the CaveQuake wrapper.

Shown here in the UC Davis KeckCAVES facility ( http://www.keckcaves.org ).

The video was shot with a tripod-mounted video camera from outside the CAVE.

This system would be awsome with the new kinect system form microsoft.

@evilgeniusv2 Might want to check my video about 3D Kinect capture on my "inofficial" channel, okreylos.

the system consists of 1 to 6 screens (cube) and every screen has to have two projectors behind the screen which creates two sligltly shifted displays and one needs such 3D glasses or more complicated head mounted systems to get the 3d feelin.

This tech. is actually not only a game console but a high tech virtual reality system. i saw even a simulation which is used for healin acrophobia :) patient goes the balcony and looks downside.. but she couldnt manage to stay there longer :)

[spelunkerucd]

Small correction: there is only one projector behind each screen in our system. There are basically two alternative methods: A single (very expensive) projector time-interleaving the left/right eye images, or two (cheaper) projectors with polarization filters or external shutters showing them separately. The latter doesn't work as well in a CAVE, though.

Future gaming must be something like this. Cyber athletics getting closer and closer to regular athletics - as in the environment they practise it. I can imagine a room with rull 360 degree view of your game and in your hands some control devices. Maybe you jump by jumping yourself ^^

[spelunkerucd]

That, by the way, is exactly how jumping works in this demo -- you have to jump yourself. Too bad nobody can actually jump as high as the Quake guy.

Does this mean we will have a holodeck in my lifetime? Sweet!
