A CAVE is typically a video theater situated within a larger room. The walls of a CAVE are typically made up of [[Rear-projection television|rear-projection]] screens, however large-scale [[LED display|LED displays]] are becoming more common.  The floor can be a downward-projection screen, a bottom projected screen or a flat panel display.  The projection systems are very high-resolution due to the near distance viewing which requires very small pixel sizes to retain the illusion of reality.

The user wears 3D glasses inside the CAVE to see [[3D graphics]] generated by the CAVE. People using the CAVE can see objects apparently floating in the air, and can walk around them, getting a proper view of what they would look like in reality. This was initially made possible by electromagnetic sensors, but has converted to [[infrared]] cameras.
