  1. LambdaTable Investigators: Jason Leigh, Andrew Johnson, Luc Renambot, Thomas A. DeFanti, Computer Science Primary Grant Support: National Science Foundation • Table-oriented displays provide an intuitive way for users to examine and manipulate complex information. • Current commercially available systems have at most high-definition resolution (1920x1080) and therefore are not suitable for many real-world applications such as viewing of high resolution maps, satellite and aerial photos, and microscopy images. Also these systems use projectors which require the room lights to be dimmed to be able to see the visuals. • The LambdaTable is a 24-Megapixel table-oriented LCD display (12x high-definition video resolution) built from a tiling of 4 Megapixel LCD panels and a cluster of PCs interconnected by a high speed network switch. • An array of infra-red cameras mounted above the display tracks passive “pucks” that are used to interact with the computer graphics displayed on the table. • The middleware is scalable to enable tables of any dimension and configuration to be constructed. • Software has been developed to enable a broad range of applications to be developed for the table. • LambdaTable has been successfully demonstrated at the Supercomputing and Communication conference in 2007. • Applications in bioscience and geoscience have been developed to demonstrate the inherent benefits of working on an ultra-high-resolution table. NSF Program Manager Tom Wagner called the LambdaTable the most innovative use of IT for visualizing geoscience data he has ever seen. • The Science Museum of Minnesota and Adler Planetarium are working with with us to build their own tables. • For more information: http://www.evl.uic.edu/core.php?mod=4&type=3&indi=331
