  text: We have developed general modeling software for a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment
    (CAVE); one of its applications is modeling 3D protein structures, generating
    both outside-in and inside-out views of geometric models. An advantage of the
    CAVE over other virtual environments is that multiple viewers can observe the
    same scene at the same time and place. Our software is scalable-from high-end
    virtual environments such as the CAVE, to mid-range immersive desktop systems,
    down to low-end graphics workstations. In the current configuration, a parallel
    Silicon Graphics Power Challenge supercomputer architecture performs the computationally
    intensive construction of surface patches remotely, and sends the results through
    the I-WAY (Information Wide Area Year) using VBNS (Very-high-Bandwidth Network
    Systems) to the graphics machines that drive the CAVE and our graphics visualization
    software, Valvis (Virtual ALpha shapes VISualizer).
