March 2009 - Photos by Michel Beaudouin-Lafon / In Situ
The first display of the world map. The white squares are dialog boxes that we have to close one by one with Apple Remote Desktop. [DSC_2174]
This is the photo that we have used in many presentations of WILD (after erasing the white rectangles with Photoshop :-). [DSC_2175]
Looking at the level of detail of the display. [DSC_2176]
Photos only give a vague idea of what it is to be in front of such a bright, ultra-high resolution display. [DSC_2177]
The In Situ group discovers the wall. [DSC_2181]
Analyzing the level of detail of the NASA Blue Marble image. (Since the image is just the desktop background, the icons show up on top of it) [DSC_2182]
The wall, the table and, to the extreme left, the front-end computer. [DSC_2196]
Wendy Mackay, head of In Situ, shows the wall to Philippe Dague, director of LRI. [DSC_2199]
Our colleagues from IAS see this image for the first time at both full size and full resolution. [DSC_2204]
Hervé Dole explains that each colored dot in this image is a galaxy (not a star!) [DSC_2207]
This is a stereoscopic image of the sun composited from the images of several satellites. [DSC_2212]
Elie Soubrie shows the long range effects of the solar eruptions. [DSC_2213]
The 49 posters created by LRI for its four-year evaluation. [DSC_2227]
We found that the tryptic shape of the wall was well suited to both collaboration and individual use. [DSC_2232]
Every text is easily readable thanks to the ultra-high resolution. [DSC_2236]
The wall affords collaborative activities. (But don't be mistaken, it is not touch-sensitive!) [DSC_2239]
Full-body interaction with the wall... [DSC_2241]
