CaveUT 2004 is a set of modifications allowing the Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) game engine to display
in CAVE-like displays and panoramic digital theaters. It supports off-axis projection for correct
perspective and multiple views from the observer's viewpoint. This page provides an introduction to CaveUT2004, including download information, installation instructions, guidelines for the program's use, explanations of how it works, and descriptions of improvements planned for the future.
Coming Soon! We have been working on a new version of CaveUT for some time, and we hope to have it ready for public release in December. It has: (1) greatly improved screen synchronization (2) logging capability (3) a special cursor that can traverse the composite display and activate clickable objects (4) support for digital dome-shaped displays (5) the ability to drive navigation via UDP (6) a protocol for interfacing a treadmill (See UtVRPN ). An early beta is available, but only to researchers who can actually help us get the public release done sooner. Stay tuned!
All versions of CaveUT are open-source and freely available to the public. It works under all versions of windows and we plan to port it to Linux. If you have comments about CaveUT or this website, please contact Jeffrey Jacobson.
