The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin has released a new open-source software package called DisplayCluster that is used to drive large-scale tiled displays and allows scientists to interact and view high-resolution imagery and video up to gigapixels in size.
Large-scale tiled displays are increasingly used by scientific communities for their effectiveness in visualizing immense data sets. Whether it is a microbiology professor teaching about viruses in the bloodstream, a doctor reviewing high-resolution medical scans, or an art student studying the brush strokes in Van Gogh's Starry Night — all of these domains use large, high-resolution displays to visualize information that may not be apparent on a smaller, lower-resolution screen, thereby improving
comprehension.
