Multiprocessing

• Computation
• Rendering (1 - 3 pipes)
• Tracking

Tracking is handled entirely by the CAVE library.

Rendering uses application supplied callbacks, managed by the library.
A separate process is started for each "wall"; each wall is normally rendered by a separate graphics pipe.
The library synchronizes the processes and computes the correct projections.

Processes communicate through shared memory.

Rendering callbacks

• Initialization
• Per-frame operations
• Drawing
