General public sees these kinds of tiled video displays at best
buy and think this is easy ...
Ability to show and interact with a single application /
visualization across the entire surface
Ability to show and interact with multiple heterogeneous
applications / visualizations on the surface
Treating the wall like a big single desktop using a typical
desktop OS
Running one copy of an application on a master node and
distributing the graphics across all the screens
Running one copy of an application on each node and have them
synchronize with each other
Running a custom desktop manager on each node that synchronize
with each other as middleware
Issue for the tiled display versions - Do you
take the borders into account and hide the imagery 'behind'
them? usually answer is yes, but not always
Some papers relevant to
our work here in evl:

For Thursday's Class
If your UIN ends in an
odd number you should read this paper and produce a similar 1 page
report to show on the wall and perhaps discuss.
Lessons learned from the
WILD room, a multisurface interactive environment
Michel Beaudouin-Lafon
IHM '11: 23rd French Speaking Conference on Human-Computer
Interaction http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2044376
If your UIN ends in an even number you should read this paper and produce a similar 1 page report to show on the
wall and perhaps discuss.
Effects of information layout, screen size, and field
of view on user performance in information‐rich virtual
environments
Nicholas F. Polys, Seonho Kim, Doug A. Bowman
VRST '05: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality
software and technology, 2005 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1101626
Again, you should produce a 1 page critique
of the paper to put up on the wall Tuesday in class, and a subset of the students will
be asked to talk more in depth about the paper.
