Powerwalls and Scalability: Implementation Issues

Research output: Contribution to conferencesPaperContributedpeer-review

Abstract

The very high resolutions supported by powerwalls and other large display configurations pose an implementation challenge, since rendering of the display contents must be distributed to achieve sufficient performance. In this position paper, we describe several strategies for implementing corresponding middleware and overcoming this challenge. We examine the strategies considering the two implementation goals network transparency and scalability. Using goals and strategies as context, we analyze prior work in the area and present a number of experiences in implementing commercial interactive surfaces that use distributed rendering.
