Abstract
While interest in large displays is growing rapidly, they are still
not common-place. Significant technical knowledge is required to construct and
maintain current display wall systems. Our goal is to make large
tiled-projector displays essentially plug and play . We want a design that
can be incrementally expanded and reconfigured at will. We want a software
environment that is identical to a standard desktop computer, with no need for
rendering clusters and special libraries. We have designed a display wall
solution that meets our needs. With our Modular Ambient Display (MAD) boxes, a
variety of high-resolution large display configurations can be quickly
assembled. By integrating interaction hardware into each box, we have created
a stand-alone interactive large display component. Our system permits
experimentation not only with the wall software, but the physical wall
configuration as well.
