| Leeds Powerwall |
| |
| We have constructed a 53 million pixel powerwall from an
array of 7x4 monitors, driven by 7 linux PCs.
The powerwall is being used for both 2D and 3D applications,
including work shown here on heart modelling carried out
as part of the Integrated Biology project.
Click on the image for a larger picture of the powerwall.
GIANT: International Workshop on Gigapixel displays and Visual Analytics
was held in Leeds 2-3 April 2008; see here for more information.
