Two custom VisWall-4HD units were delivered to NCSA in Urbana, Illinois. Each display uses four HD projectors for an aggregate resolution of 3840×2160 (8.3 MPixels) and a 101″ diagonal screen size. The units are portable and only 34″ deep, allowing them to roll through a standard doorway.
The Cyberenvironments and Technologies Directorate at NCSA, headed by Dr. Jim Myers will use the displays for several collaborative projects.
One of the two units was featured in the NCSA booth at Supercomputing 2008 in Austin, Texas.
