The CAVE(tm) proposal was written in partnership with NCSA as part of the University ACITC Visualization Group where both on- and off-campus programs will benefit from this ACITC resource. There are other proposals related to the CAVE(tm) proposal, also in partnership with NCSA. Other relevant links about CAVE(tm) programs at Virginia Tech are the NCSA-SGI Power Grid Alliance / Proposal (accepted) and the NSF NCSA-PACI Proposal (pending). With the discount from the NCSA-SGI Power Grid Alliance the College of Engineering is buying an ImmersaDesk.
