"Loops" by Mark Stock

Friday, 21 March 2008

"Loops" is another beautiful and serene piece by Mark Stock (http://mark.technolope.org/) , which he provided specially for HIPerWall. The size of the image is 25600x8000 to match the native resolution of HIPerWall.

DSC00298DSC00300DSC00299

The image below shows the size comparison of all artwork by Mark. Notice the massive size of the gigapixel image "Open House" (32000x32000) on the left side. It simply blows my mind that such images might be a norm for a digital camera someday (or not Laughing)

The middle image is "Red Streamlines" 24000x24000 pixels. The right one is the "Loops" 25600x8000 pixels, which is the native pixel size of the HIPerWall.

Incidentally, all these images can be rearranged and zoomed in/out interactively.

The First Gigapixel Image: "Open House" by Mark Stock
The News - Latest News
Written by Sung-Jin Kim   
Tuesday, 18 March 2008

Mark Stock (http://mark.technolope.org/) provided us this magnificent gigapixel image last year but we were unable to show until now due to our  software upgrade. Now this is our first time displaying a true gigapixel image (1,024,000,000 pixels).

"Open House" is 32000x32000 pixels. The detail with lighting and shadows are so fantastic, it looks like a real thing, something like paper mâché sculpture.

HIPerWall in Orange County Register
The News - Latest News
Written by Stephen Jenks   
Thursday, 13 March 2008

HIPerWall was prominently featured in an article about Jeff Greenberg and the TechCoastWorks incubator in the Orange County Register. The link to the article is:

http://www.ocregister.com/column/browser-life-incubator-1997827-second-virtual

Just to clarify a point from the article: Others helped in building HIPerWall, including Prof. Falko Kuester (the NSF grant PI) and PostDocs Kai-Uwe Doerr and Chris Knox. Falko has since moved to UCSD where he continues to innovate in large-scale visualization and he frequently works with us at UCI.

Prof. Stephen Jenks gave a lecture to the freshmen of the Engineering 1 Freshman Seminar in the HIPerWall room on 10/31/2007. This lecture was intended to encourage young minds to understand and follow distinctive paths of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering.

The multimodal presentation included wiimote-controlled-PDF slides, various images and a live HD camera feed of the presentation itself. The presentation was followed by the research demo including Google Earth on HIPerWall.

Council of vice chancellors for research from all UC campuses visited Calit2 Monday 10/22/20007. Prof. Stephen Jenks presented the overview and features of HIPerWall. Dr. Steve Potkin presented how his research team could make a medical discovery based on such a large display wall technology.

Prof. Falko Kuester in UCSD could join the presentation by a live HD video stream coming from the UC San Diego through OptIPuter network. New features of TileViewer were introduced including display the HD stream on the HIPerWall as part of visualization objects shown in (4) and displaying any desktop screen of PC shown in (6) (the object displayed on the left side of HIPerWall). More information about the new features will be updated soon.

We thank all members of Calit2 for making this presentation a success. Especially thank the members of Prof. Falko Kuester's research team in UC San Diego, which was affected by the massive wild fire in the region at the time.
