Background
Site Description	Madain Saleh is the southernmost outpost of the Nabateans; this tomb is from the first century, CE. Note the roughly chiseled walls, different from the outside smoothly carved features, KAUST arranged this CAVEcam expedition as part of a training session conducted by Dick Ainsworth, Tom DeFanti, and Dan Sandin, for KAUST Visualization Lab team members.
Project Description	Digital cameras are used to capture images in full stereo surround for use in virtual reality systems. These images can cover any field of view, including 360 degree by 180 degree spherical panoramas. Two photographic cylinders are created with identical dimensions, capturing the perspective as seen from each eye position. When these cylinders are mapped to a spherical surface, full stereo in all directions is achieved. This technique allows photographic imaging to create the virtual environment itself. The complete stereo image that is created by this technique can be viewed in any direction that is supported by the virtual reality system design.
