CAVE2 wasn't always a cylinder, or even a CAVE. At this stage it was known as the NG (Next Generation)-CAVE. We wanted as near-seamless immersive environment as possible with a minimum of overlap, which eventually drove itself toward the cylindrical design. We also rode the fence along 55" or 46" deployments before materials and opportunity settled around the 46" Xpol displays.
