Powerwall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Powerwall is the generic term for large, non-tiled high-resolution display walls used for projecting large computer generated images. These size of the wall displays can range in size from six to over forty feet (currently in existence) in width and potentially even larger. The massive display walls typically have a height exceeding nine feet. A powerwall implementation differes from that of a typical large projection display due to the composition of the image from several smaller high resolution (at least 1024x768, typically 1600x1200) images creating a display that maintains image fidelity even at very close viewing distances. This leads to a versatile environment of use where use/interpretation of the displayed information can be tailored to different depths within the physical working space. Powerwalls and other types of large high-resolution displays are also known as gigapixel displays.
