-===== Zone 5 =====
-{{:wiki:facilities:zone5.jpg?nolink&600|}}
-Zone 5, or NexCAVE, is a semi-immersive VR environment featuring an array of 7x3 stereo HD displays (22 megapixels) in a semi-circle configuration. It allows for partial immersion in your data, individually, or more ideally, with a large group, which is one distinguishing featuring setting it apart from head-mounted-displays. Users can use either Avizo or Unity in Zone 5.
+KVL has their own instance of a SAGE server running on campus, meaning that anything uploaded to the server stays inside of KAUST. Simple go to: [[https://sage.vis.kaust.edu.sa | KVL SAGE Server]].
+  * If you don't want to download the SAGE client, you can view and create boards through the internet browser.
+    * NOTE: Some functions may not work properly in browser
-<WRAP center round help 100%> ==== How do I run Avizo on Zone 5? ====
-You can use the front-end Windows computer on the left side of Zone 5 to run Avizo. TechViz is used to connect Avizo with Zone 5.
-  * Start TechViz Controller - a shortcut is typically pinned to the taskbar or you can search for it using the Windows search bar. Note that it is required to start TechViz before Avizo!
-  * Once you see the TechViz Controller window, start Avizo - a shortcut to the latest Avizo version is typically pinned to the taskbar or you can search for it using the Windows search bar.
-  * Load your Avizo project or dataset - you can access files via a USB port, datawaha, or download your data locally from your cloud storage.
-  * Once your project or dataset is loaded, make sure you have a visualization module, e.g., volume renderer, surface viewer.
-  * In the TechViz Controller window, click the VR icon (leftmost icon), then click the 3D view window of Avizo (where the visualization is displayed). This should initiate the connection between Avizo and TechViz.
-  * In Avizo, create a TechViz Connection module (right click in Project View, click "Create Object", then look for and create TechViz Connection object).
-  * Click on the TechViz Connection object in the Project View. In the Properties window, click the "connect" button. Once the connection is finished, the "Center" and "Auto Scale" buttons will become active.
-  * Click the "Center" button to place your visualized data in the center of the view. Optionally, click the "Auto Scale" button to rescale or resize the visualization to fit in the view.
-  * You can now put on the 3D glasses with tracker balls and hold the controller in your hand. The visualization should adjust based on your position. You can also use the controller to grab and move the visualization (press and hold the trigger button with index finger while moving the object), or fly around using the joystick.
-  * You can also interact with some Avizo modules directly via the immersive environment - double click on the controller's rightmost button to display the Avizo menu.

-Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices are available for use in the laboratory, along with high-end workstations for VR/AR development. More information about AR/VR tools can be found [[vrtools|here]]. This documentation is particularly for the workstation located in Bldg. 1, Showcase area - this high-end machine has 2 Intel Xeon CPUs (E5-2667 v4 @ 3.2 Ghz), 768 GB RAM, RTX 8000 GPU with 48 GB VRAM. It is equipped with an HTC Vive Pro 2 for VR development/demos and a Wacom Cintiq pro pen and tablet interface for manual image segmentation. It can also be booked for short-term use for running compute intensive Avizo processing such as large-scale deep learning segmentation. When booking, make sure to select the "Vive" option in our booking page as shown below.

-===== Multi-purpose Room =====
-{{:wiki:facilities:mpr.jpeg?nolink&600|}}
-The multi-purpose room is a theater-like presentation space with a capacity of 70 people. The room supports regular presentation needs as well as stereoscopic presentations from 3D interactive applications or movies. This room is used for meetings, workshops, and other campus functions. It features wireless microphones, a blue-ray player, a high-resolution 3D capable projector (BARCO HDX W18 @ 1920x1080 pixels), and a Mac laptop and podium. In addition to the main screen, there are 6 TVs placed on the walls around the room that can be set to display output from the same source as the projector, or even a different source if multiple things need to be shown simultaneously.
