Beat Box presents networked CAVE visitors with a playful arena of interactive virtual sound instruments. These instruments include audio sequencers with unique periodic durations and controls. Visitors choose from sound selections and place a sound at an interval on the instrument.

In Beat Box, an audio sequencer is depicted by a row of heads, each “singing” in turn. The graphics and sounds continually change with the resultant delivery of the collective instruments.

The CAVE wand is also used as a drumstick to play various sets of drums. Beat Box is an activation of harmony, musical dialogue and language between the virtual characters and people collaborating in the network.
