However, tours are available to members of the Indiana University Community in order to promote better understanding of the value and applications of VR technology. Tours must be requested at least 48 hours in advance. Tours can be scheduled up to one month in advance. In scheduling time for tours, priority will be given to groups that have direct involvement in development or use of VR technology, high performance computing, or high performance networking. Priority will be given to instructors and their classes over other groups.
Small groups are preferable.
A maximum of eight people can comfortably view the CAVE or the Immersadesk simultaneously, and tours last approximately 15 minutes. This translates to a maximum of 25 people per hour. As a general rule, we cannot accommodate groups of more than 25 people at a time. Likewise, instructors and group leaders are requested to provide basic information about VR technology to the members of the group prior to the time of the tour, so that time in the VR facilities can be most effectively used.
