Abstract :
Increased processor and storage capacities have supported the computational sciences, but have simultaneously unleashed a data avalanche on the scientific community. As a result, scientific research is limited by data analysis and visualization capabilities. These new bottlenecks have been the driving motivation behind the Princeton scalable display wall project. To create a scalable and easy-to-use large-format display system for collaborative visualization, the authors have developed various techniques, software tools, and applications.
