RWTH Aachen aixCAVE
RWTH Aachen aixCAVE — five-sided CAVE with 5×5 m floor and ARTTRACK for immersive research and precise optical metrology.

Immersive research in Aachen
The aixCAVE at RWTH Aachen is one of Europe's leading five-sided CAVE systems — a walkable volume with a 5 × 5 m floor for lifelike, immersive research scenarios.
Tracking setup
ARTTRACK cameras capture user position and orientation in real time across the entire tracking volume — the foundation for correct perspective projection on all CAVE walls and the floor.
Applications
- Scientific visualization: Spatial exploration of large datasets and simulations
- Engineering & design: Interactive 3D models in a natural walking and viewing environment
- Metrology: Precise 6DOF localization for metrological and analytical tasks
Why ART?
A walkable CAVE with 25 m² of floor space demands maximum tracking range and accuracy — ARTTRACK delivers the stability needed for both VR and optical metrology.
