The Stanford DisplayWall Project

Stanford School of Medicine is working on a display wall project for their new building and has tested an old version of TileViewer more than a year ago. A terribly late post but here we go.

Andrew Connolly, MD, featured in the video gave a short but very nice explanation of the necessity and utility of a high resolution display wall for research and education.

One interesting story is that at that time we provided the software to them thinking a 3D-mouse type input will be perfect for professors to navigate images while standing/teaching. Yet, professors did not like the 3D-mouse idea and wanted to have more simple yet intuitive control schemes.

A lesson to learn: do not assume your user interface design will be perfect for the end users.
