P3D Configuring the CAVE

Want a chance to check out a CAVE? (I cant remember what the acronym
means, computer somthing something) Many of you know that it's an
immersive 3d environment using multiple projectors, and shutter glasses.
If you can handle a bit of contemporary art <grin>, and find yourself in
Tokyo, check out NTT's (The Japanese phone company)
InterCommunication Centre. The have a permanent collection of electronic
based art, including the piece "Configuring the Cave" by Agnes Hegedus,
Jeffery Shaw, Bernd Lintermann and Leslie Stuck.
This work (or works, I think each artist did a piece using a common
interface) is all CG based, and some parts "work" better than others,both
in a 3d sense and an artistic sense. I was never really able to ignore the
corners of the walls and floor either, a CAVE with a round interior would
really be somthing. I wouldn't mind one in my house though... 
Are there any other CAVEs that are accessible to the public? Or do you
have to be a top automobile designer?
