Abstract:
The intent of the work is to present an Immersive Virtual Environment (IVE) as a new abstracted management
layer on top of the Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) system, allowing the simplified
management and linear scaling of multiple SAGE-driven video walls, and the creation and control of simple
interactive scenarios. The framework exposes evolved Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that are detached
from the underlying system and can be used by mobile clients as well. Primitives offered to developers
and content creators allow the definition of immersive cinematographic experiences using basic commands,
which are synchronized on the whole IVE environment. A complete implementation of the system is described
and then evaluated with the specific case of one physical installation.
