Hello Volker,
Actually
Z-A is proposing an ‘all-in-one’ SASCube
solution, integrating all the hardware and software, including the Virtools
extensions for active stereoscopic vision and distributed computing. You can
contact them directly for pricing info (contact info on www.z-a.net).
For
other immersive/Virtools technology, if anyone is interested, you can contact
us directly, as we have specific behaviours for various input devices, stereoscopic
systems, distributed systems, etc.. all
things related to VR)
Regards
Francois Dujardin

Dev 2 for immersive VR
This is incredible!
I
remember, five years ago when I was still in University, a friend of
mine
used to work for a Frauenhofer Institute's cave project. It was
build
with a bunch of SGIs (which were usually malfunctioning). The cave
did cost
several millions to build and quite some staff was required to
run and
maintain it. I can only guess what a pain the authoring for
environments
and interaction must have been. It is great to see a
powerful
tool like Virtools gaining more and more attention in the high
end
market. Even though the frame rate seemed a little low. Is this due
to the
movie compression or just not optimized yet?
I'm
really interested in knowing if there are any plans to build a 'all
in one -
solution' that could be purchased? How much did it actually
cost to
build this system?
This
makes me think of about the future, where will we be in five years?
Maybe
there will be a consumer cave solution and in ten years something
like
this will be just as ususal as a PSX, GameCube or XBox.
