1 Extremely Large-Scale 3D Object Viewing on HIPerWall Research conducted by Alex Kindel under Professor Stephen Jenks

2 What is the project? Goal: Render 3D objects onto HIPerWall in real time.

3 What is the project? Goal: Render 3D objects onto HIPerWall in real time. Rendering: projecting 3D data onto 2D surface. Rendering on HIPerWall: treat the entire tiled display as one single display.

4 What is the project? Goal: Render 3D objects onto HIPerWall in real time. 3D objects: Product designs and architecture from programs like AutoCAD. Specialized 3D data from whatever source. Almost any 3D data.

5 What is the project? Goal: Render 3D objects onto HIPerWall in real time. Real time rendering implies rendering at rates greater than roughly 20 frames per second. Every frame must be made from scratch. Real time rendering allows immediate user interaction, such as by changing the view.

6 Purpose and Use Allows efficient viewing of large scale 3D data. May be used to assist in the viewing of huge 3D data created by scientists, businesses, and medical researchers. Groups of people may view and discuss the data together while in the same room.

7 How is the project implemented? HIPerWall is made of normal computers and normal (albeit very large) monitors... So how does the entire wall act as one huge 3D rendering display instead of 50 smaller independent displays?

8 How is the project implemented? Have a global camera. Have each client know where it is on the wall. Then each client takes the global camera and its own position on the wall and figures out what it's supposed to draw.

9 Servers and Clients Every computer acts as a client that connects to a central server. Server waits for everyone to be ready, Then server sends a “go!” message, Repeat New camera positions are sent to the clients based on user input. Networking trade offs

10 Conclusion 3D visualization on HIPerWall is useful in itself. And, in addition: Same methods and tools can be modified to be used on other display walls. All HIPerWall projects help lead to advances in parallel computing in general.
