Networked Haptic Virtual Environments Supporting Ultra High Resolution Display

With HPC (high performance computing) and scientific computing, it has been possible to produce a large amount of data. To easily analyze those data and collaborate on it, visualization in terms of ultra high resolution is desired. However, in order to combine a HPC system with a high resolution display system, high system resource is required. This paper shows an example of a system combining both a haptic system requiring high speed computing and a ultra high resolution display system. Thus, in this paper, we realize a networked haptic virtual environment system over ultra high resolution tiled display. With a networked haptic virtual environment supporting ultra high resolution display, users can feel sense of touch with haptic device and see visuals in ultra high resolution manner with network tiled display when users collaborate in shared virtual environment together. In addition, in this paper, a frame rate control scheme, making the networked haptic virtual environment system over ultra high resolution display stable, is proposed.
