The Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space (HIPerSpace) features nearly 287 million pixels of screen resolution. My 17″ widescreen laptop has just over 1.2 million, for comparison.
The resolution of the HIPerSpace display is more than 10 percent higher than the second-largest display in the world, constructed by NASA Ames Research Center, the 256-million-pixel hyperwall-2.
“Amazingly it took our team less than a day to tear down the original wall, relocate and expand it,” said Falko Kuester, principal investigator of the HIPerSpace system. “The higher resolution display takes us more than half-way to our ultimate goal of building a half-billion-pixel tiled display system to give researchers an unprecedented ability to look broadly at large data sets while also zooming in to the tiniest details.”
