SUMMARY:SMACK 19: "Introducing the new 133-Mpixel visualization wall of the
  IAC"
DESCRIPTION:SMACK 19: "Introducing the new 133-Mpixel visualization wall of
  the IAC"\nDr. Angel de Vicente Garrido\n\nIn a time when we deal with ext
 remely large images (be it from computersimulations or from extremely powe
 rful telescopes), visualizing them canbecome a challenge. If we use a regu
 lar monitor, we have two options:1) fit the image to our monitor resolutio
 n, which involves interpolationand thus losing information and the ability
  to see small image details.2) zooming in on small parts of the image to v
 iew them at fullresolution, which involves losing context and the global v
 iew of thefull image.To alleviate these problems, display walls of hundred
 s of Megapixels canbe built, which allow us to visualize in full resolutio
 n small detailsof the images while retaining in view a larger image contex
 t. Forexample, one of the world's highest resolution tiled-displays isStal
 lion (https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/vislab/stallion, at the TACC inTexas, US
 A), with an impressive resolution of 597 Megapixels (an earlierversion of 
 the system can be seen being used athttps://tinyurl.com/mt7atad9).At the I
 AC we have built a more modest display wall (133 Megapixels),which you pro
 bably have already seen in action in one of our recentpress releases (http
 s://tinyurl.com/4bwtxvec). In this talk I willintroduce this new visualiza
 tion facility (which any IAC researcher canuse) and discuss on some design
  issues, possible current and futureuses, limitations, etc.
