HIPerWall

HIPerWall is a wall built of numerous high-definition monitors, each with its own imbedded computer for displaying standard and large (up to one gigabyte or larger) graphic images, high-definition (HD) digital movies, and streaming content from video cameras and other live feeds.

Built at Calit2 (California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology) at UC Irvine, the Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Wall (hence HIPerWall) has the ability to display 200 Megapixel images.

It is designed to visualize enormous data sets and allows viewers to see detail, with 100 dots per inch on the screens, while retaining the context of an overview by seeing surrounding data (also in high detail). This allows a group of scientists to collaborate, share detailed information, while still keeping the big picture.
