The CAVE is a room-sized advanced visualization solution that combines high-resolution DLP™ based stereoscopic projection technology and 3-D computer graphics to create the illusion of complete sense of presence in a virtual environment. The CAVE was the first virtual reality technology in the world to allow multiple users to immerse themselves fully in the same virtual environment at the same time.

The geographic delta was formed by shifts in
the speed and direction of the Mississippi
River. New, extremely fertile land was
deposited as the river responded to
geographic barriers – seeking the most direct
route to the Gulf of Mexico.

Today's economic delta is being formed by market
forces that dictate the flow of a rising tide of
information. This “river” of facts and figures
changes course by the nanosecond, carving out
“islands of opportunity”.
The geographic Mississippi Delta was transformed by low tech and hand power.
The economic Mississippi Delta is being
transformed by high tech and mind power.
LONI is the change agent driving Transitional Convergence.
Transitional Convergence
High Speed Networks + Distributed Parallel
Processing + Innovative Minds = LONI
LONI x Applications = Economic
