Hi

I'm converting a 3 wall and floor CAVE environment to 2 screen for an art show. I'd like it configured like the image:
There is a physical wheel controller to drive the installation.

I would like to use one PC to drive the 2 projectors. How to set this up in Vizard? Any pointers please? My pc will run 2 monitors with Vizard fullscreen on both but the perspective needs tweaking because of the leaning screen. Is it some special setup in Vizconnect?

So i can get Vizard to drive 2 monitors, but how to get it to display different cave walls on each monitor? At the moment it stretches 1 view over both

Have a look at the vizcave single machine (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#vizcave_CAVE_single_machine.htm) example script. It shows how to create multiple subwindows and assign a wall to each window.

ok!! that seems to be what to do!! but *please* for the sake of my numberlexic brain could you explain what WINDOW_SIZE should be set for the 2 windows I want, 1 above the other...

Also in that example file, when i added

viz.go(viz.FULLSCREEN |viz.QUAD_BUFFER)

only center widow was stereo, so I had to tell the other windows to be stereo like this:

leftWindow = viz.addWindow(size=WINDOW_SIZE,pos=[0,1])
leftWindow.stereo(viz.QUAD_BUFFER)
cave.addWall(LeftWall,window=leftWindow)
