Leaky’s Room is a virtual environment, developed by Keith Beu, that uses audience participation and real-time video and was created as a component of The Great Sandini Virtual Circus of the CAVE™ virtual environment.

The audience entered Leaky’s Roomby falling through a trap door in the floor of a virtual circus tent. A short tunnel ride later, the participant would land in the “hall of mirrors” itself where live video of the viewers would be distorted in real-time and displayed back in the CAVE™. This provided a “house-of-mirrors”-type effect, where the audience would see themselves distorted as if in a circus fun-house mirror. The live video feed of the viewers was distorted in real-time through use of Beu’s proprietary image processing tools.
