navigation in cave environment

[Andy]

I have a problem by understanding a cave-configuration and navigation respectively. I hope somebody can help me. In my configuration I have one wall (stereo render by two clients), one Polhemus-Fastrak for Head-Tracking and my Keybord for navigation. My Problem is: who can I navigate through my VR-World?

I see a cave-wall like a window by which I see through. Now, when I would like to navigate through my VR-World, in my opinion I have two options: first I can move the Wall an my Viewpoint or second I move the whole world (and my Body\Head is the central point).

Who can I do this with Vizard?
