Multi-Touch Powerwall Visualization

With funding from the Carl Zeiss Stiftung, we are currently setting up our interactive visualization lab, which contains a high-resolution, multi-touch powerwall as its centerpiece. The powerwall, consisting of a Stewart StarGlas 60 Screen, has a screen size of 179in with a width of 3.88m and a height of 2.58m. Content is back projected with 24 full HD projectors, which generate a stereoscopic projection by means of polarization filters. To enable multi-user touch input, the powerwall is equipped with a DEFI X Series Multi-Touch Module, which enables us to track 10 individual touch events. Interactive 2D and 3D content is created through our high-end rendering cluster equipped with latest NVIDIA graphics hardware. The lab enables demos, multi-user collaborations as well as public outreach.
