The Universe Knew We Were Coming digital painting is being exhibited on a large 18’ computerized display wall at the Computer Sciences Laboratory at Princeton University.
The wall uses 24 Compaq MP1800 projectors tiled together to create an image resolution of 6000x3000 pixels on a 8’ x 18’ rear projection screen. The display system uses a cluster of PCs with 3-D graphics accelerators networked by Myrinet and 100Mb Ethernet. Underway since April 1998, the display wall serves the Princeton Computer Science program breaking new ground in Large-Scale Computer Displays, Immersive Systems and Remote Data Visualization.
