Cyber-insects appear most impressive in special virtual reality equipments like the CAVE. The CAVE is a multi-person, room-sized, high-resolution, 3D video and audio environment. Images are projected in stereo onto three walls and the floor, and viewed with stereo glasses.

As a viewer wearing a position sensor moves within its display boundaries, the correct perspective and stereo projections of the environment are updated by a supercomputer, and the images move with and surround the viewer. To the viewer with stereo glasses, the projection screens become transparent and the 3-D image space appears to extend to infinity.
