Engineers construct 220 million pixel computer displayEngineers at the University of California, San Diego have constructed the highest-resolution computer display in the world - with a screen resolution up to 220 million pixels. The system located at the UCSD division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) is also linked via optical fiber to Calit2's building at UC Irvine, which boasts the previous record holder. The combination - known as the Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space (HIPerSpace) - can deliver real-time rendered graphics simultaneously across 420 million pixels to audiences in Irvine and San Diego. "We don't intend to stop there," said Falko Kuester, Calit2 professor for visualization and virtual reality and associate professor of structural engineering in UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering. "HIPerSpace provides a unique environment for visual analytics and cyberinfrastructure research and we are now seeking funding to double the size of the system at UC San Diego alone to reach half a billion pixels with a one gigapixel distributed display in sight."
