About mizzou cave

The Mizzou CAVE is an immersive virtual reality (VR) system at the University of Missouri-Columbia with a synchronized motion tracking system to foster interdisciplinary research and education around a common theme of “dynamic decision making and learning”. It consists of adjustable walls, a floor and motion sensors that track movement. Unlike other types of virtual reality, users do not have to wear bulky headsets to experience their 3D surroundings.

Imagine studying a protein by walking through its three-dimensional structure. Or researching traffic patterns by standing alongside a virtual highway. Or safely exploring the structural integrity of a house while it’s on fire. Mizzou researchers and educators now have the capability to do these things with the Mizzou CAVE in the CERI Center at Lafferre Hall.
