The projectors then fill the CAVE with many one-inch boxes set one foot apart. The person then takes an instrument called an "ultrasonic measurement device" which has a cursor in the middle of it, and positions the device so that the cursor is visually in line with the projected box.

This process can go on until almost 400 different blocks are measured. Each time the cursor is placed inside a block, a computer program records the location of that block and sends the location to another computer. 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>
