The Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space project (HIPerSpace) is brought to you by the creators of [[Research Projects: HIPerWall | HIPerWall]]. HIPerSpace is the next generation concept for ultra-high resolution distributed display systems that can scale into the billions of pixels, providing unprecedented high-capacity visualization capabilities to experimental and theoretical researchers. HIPerSpace has held the distinction of the "World's Highest Resolution Display" since it was first introduced in 2006 taking the top spot previously held by [[Research Projects: HIPerWall | HIPerWall]], which held it since 2005.

HIPerSpace has served as the baseline system for nearly all OptIPortals that have been deployed since the end of 2006, i.e. it is the godfather of most high-resolution multi-tile walls that have emerged recently, most of which are being developed as nearly identical ''carbon'' copies. HIPerSpace is being powered by our cluster graphics library and cluster management framework, called [[Research_Projects:_CGLX | CGLX]].

== Frequently Asked QuestIons ==

+

+

''' How do i get one? ''' <br>

+

HIPerSpace and its [[Research_Projects:_CGLX |CGLX]] middleware are the baseline for most major multi-tile display systems that have been deployed over the past year. That said, if you want to build your own version, we have resources in place that will help you to do so for academic environments. If you want to buy a fully integrated and functional system outright, we can facilitate this as well. Please contact [[Research Profile: Falko Kuester |Prof. Kuester]] or [http://vis.ucsd.edu/~kdoerr/index.html Dr. Kai-Uwe Doerr] for details. <br>

'''Are you Interested in Research Collaborations?'''<br>

+

Absolutely. We are always searching for new and exciting challenges and always happy to contribute to collaborative research proposals. <br>

+

+

''' Why LCDs and not Projectors?'''<br>

+

+

HIPerSpace and its predecessor [[Research_Projects:_HIPerWall |HIPerWall]] are an approximation of next generation digital wall paper that we expect to see in the very near future. Our focus is on providing the fundamental algorithms, middleware and techniques needed to drive these systems and interact with them. With this in mind, there are a couple of key considerations in respect to longevity, brightness, heat signature, noise emissions, energy consumption and physical dimensions that have to be taken into account.

+

''Advantages:''

+

* generally higher pixel density (DPI)

+

** 20/20 vision is the name of the game

+

* smaller physical footprint

+

** no throw distance issues

+

** no issues with front vs rear-projection

+

* smaller energy footprint

+

* smaller heat signature

+

* no noise emission

+

* better contrast

+

* easy to scale (one advantage of hard edges)

+

+

''Disadvantages:''

+

* bezels (the first prototypes of OLEDs are out that address this complaint)

+

* not suitable for active or passive stereo display (can use a barrier type approach though for auto-stereo)
