Unveiled late last year and now in full swing, America’s Stony Brook University in New York runs a The Reality Deck: a super-computer driven 1.5 billion pixel resolution immersive display with a 416-screen virtual reality four-walled surround-view theater.
The University claims it is the largest resolution immersive display ever built to be driven by a graphic supercomputer: not only the first to break the 1 billion pixel mark but also with a resolution 5X greater than the second-largest in the world.
The entire United States population could each have their photo taken by satellite, and "there would be enough resolution for each person to be depicted in five pixels in color demonstrating the super-high resolution of the facility."
Or you can just wow your clients by showing large gigapixel panoramic images like a 45 gigapixel photograph of Dubai or a 6 gigapixel Infrared telescope view of the Milky Way. The Reality Deck provides 20/20 vision (so traditional panning or zooming motions become unnecessary and obsolete) where users simply approach the display to see more detail and walk further back to appreciate the overview.
