The HIVE is a multi-screen passive stereo virtual reality (VR) projection system constructed from commodity hardware for less than $4000. Users of the HIVE stand in the middle of a box-like structure and are presented with stereo (or 3D) images to their front, left, and right. The HIVE uses rear projection screens constructed from an acrylic material, so that users can walk right up to images without casting a shadow on the display. This adds a heightened sense of realism to applications. Images are generated using a standard desktop computer with a 2.8 GHz processor and five nVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440 graphics cards. The HIVE provides the means through which immersive VR techniques and applications can be demonstrated in a small college environment.
