If the points are calibrated accurately, there should be no distortion in the images that are projected in the CAVE. This also allows the CAVE to correctly identify where the user is located and can precisely track their movements, allowing the projectors to display images based on where the person is inside the CAVE.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://inkido.indiana.edu/a100/handouts/cave_out.html |title=The CAVE (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment) |accessdate=2006-06-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070109083006/http://inkido.indiana.edu/a100/handouts/cave_out.html |archive-date=2007-01-09 }}</ref>

==Uses==

The concept of the original CAVE has been reapplied and is currently being used in a variety of fields.  Many universities own CAVE systems. CAVEs have many uses. Many engineering companies use CAVEs to enhance product development.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Virtual reality in the product development process |date=1970-01-01 |doi=10.1080/09544820210129823 |volume=13 |issue=2 |journal=Journal of Engineering Design |pages=159–172|last1 = Ottosson|first1 = Stig|s2cid=110260269 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url={{Google books |plainurl=yes |id=OPzwyZD4m14C |page=75 }} |title=Product Engineering: Tools and Methods Based on Virtual Reality |date=2007-06-06 |accessdate=2014-08-04}}</ref>

Prototypes of parts can be created and tested, interfaces can be developed, and factory layouts can be simulated, all before spending any money on physical parts. This gives engineers a better idea of how a part will behave in the product in its entirety. CAVEs are also used more and more in the collaborative planning in construction sector.<ref>{{cite web|author=Nostrad |url=http://www.slideshare.net/Swecofinland/sweco-cave-20140613jjau |title=Collaborative Planning with Sweco Cave: State-of-the-art in Design and Design Management |publisher=Slideshare.net |date=2014-06-13 |accessdate=2014-08-04}}</ref> Researchers can use CAVE system to conduct their research topic in a more accessible and effective method.
