Dissertação (Mestrado em Engenharia Mecânica) - Centro de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2015.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/19832The acquisition cost of a CAVE is high. Until recently, the figure was millions of dollars. This factor prevented the spread of the CAVE as a research tool and application in education. However, in recent years there has been a significant reduction in hardware costs and the development of free software for managing these environments. This cost reduction enabled several initiatives of implementation .In this work we used the methodological approach of Systems Engineering for recommend the design and construction of a low cost CAVE from studies of the various technologies involved. The work starts from the design of the space required for installation, specification of materials that make up its structure the choice of hardware and software management and construction of virtual worlds. From the construction of the prototype and the choice of InstantReality API was established the necessary knowledge to recommend of building an immersive environment. This structure will allow the development and use of disciplinary and interdisciplinary content geared to teaching/learning as well as the advancement of research conducted with use of Virtual Reality Technology in Education, involving new challenges.porAcesso AbertoRealidade virtualX3DInstant realityEducaçãoCAVEmasterThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA MECANICA
