CAVE - Cave Automatic Virtual Environment

An infrastructure dedicated to experimentation with immersive virtual environments, the CAVE has a projection surface where stereoscopic 3D images are projected, combined with a motion tracking system that determines the position and orientation of an observer in real-time. The system adjusts the image's perspective to match the viewer's point of view and generates coherent spatialized sound for a perceptually accurate multimodal experience. Unlike traditional VR devices, users are immersed in a virtual environment without completely losing sight of the real world. This mixed reality experience allows free movement over a wide area. The infrastructure is beneficial for observing large plans, such as architectural or urban environments, and examining virtual models of complex structures, such as molecular or astronomical formations.

DSM Simulator - Driving Simulator 

DSM Simulator includes two driving simulators: one for four-wheeled vehicles and one for two-wheeled vehicles. Both feature a vehicle mockup (four-wheeled and two-wheeled, respectively) surrounded by a 180º screen that offers a view of a virtual world perceptually coherent with the driver's position. The surrounding scenarios (roads, landscapes) are fully customizable according to the experience desired by the driver. These devices act as prototyping tools, allowing users to have a safe driving experience while experimenting with new Human-Machine Interaction concepts focused on the CCAM (Connected, Cooperative, and Autonomous Mobility) domain. They also allow new road infrastructures to be tested from the driver's perspective, speeding up identifying design problems and safety risks.
