The Biggest Display in the World

Scientists from the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information have created the largest, in their words, screen in the world.

The system HIPerSpace (Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space) was presented last week in the University of California in San Diego. It consists of seventy displays of Dell with 30 inches diagonally with resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.

Screens are located in a matrix of 14 columns and 5 rows. Total resolution of the display is 35640 x 8000 points, or 286.7 million pixels – with more than 10% larger than the second largest display HyperWall-2, setup in Ames Research Center of NASA.

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.
