HIPerSpace has the physical dimensions 9.7 x 2.3 meters. The system is supported by powerful cluster of 18 computer Dell XPS 710/720, four screens, with Intel processors, and graphic controllers pair of nVidia FX5600.
HIPerSpace will be used for visual modeling in medicine, astrophysics, chemistry, archeology and other fields.
