Star Cave

Log in as user "covise".

To quit click on black window and hit ESC key.

COVISE Demos

Open the editor by typing the command "gedit /home/covise/covise/config/starcave.xml"

In the editor, make sure all plugins that are under the list "not ready for demos" are off.

When turning a demo on, save the file, and go back to terminal. Type command "opencover".

To quit the demo, press escape. In the terminal, press the arrow up key to repeat last command, e.g., to restart the demo.

When leaving: - press escape and close the editor - in the terminal, type "cave_off" - log off the computer and turn off the monitor

Remember: - Make sure that all projectors are off completely when you leave. - Be smart about where you place the joystick.

Move the chair to the X on the floor.

To put it into stereo mode, click on black screen and press F9. For mono mode, press F5, and to quit, press escape.

To shut down, escape out of the black screen, and type command "wall_off". Then log off.
