Towards Boundless Display: Developing a Reconfigurable Research Testbed for Large-scale, High-resolution Visual Displays

该项目，建立一个独特的，基于大学，非常大，高分辨率的视觉显示，旨在建立一个可重构的试验台。这项工作研究了各种人机界面（HCI）方案与生物信息学和建筑等领域的有效性之间的关系。为了进行实证研究，试验台的设计将是可扩展的，并可快速重新配置。将对测试平台提供的许多变量进行比较评估，包括显示器瓦片之间是否存在边框、显示器分辨率、显示器形状因子、显示器大小和形状、输入设备和交互技术、信息布局、用户相对于显示器的位置、用户角色、用户数量以及用户之间的协作程度。应用研究领域专家将验证和扩展从基础研究中获得的一般原则，解决以下应用领域。 基于课堂的教育，建筑和建筑施工，科学数据可视化，指挥和控制室，和艺术。预期的好处包括可重构显示器本身的架构，设计，开发和评估高分辨率显示方法和协作多用户交互技术的经验，大量显示和交互设计效果的科学结果，更广泛的影响：为CS教育创建一个独特的资源，使许多不同的学科受益

This project, establishing a unique, university based, very large, high-resolution visual display, aims at building a reconfigurable testbed. The work studies the relationship between various human-computer interface (HCI) scenarios and the effectiveness in areas such as bioinformatics and construction. To enable empirical research, the design of the testbed will be scalable and rapidly reconfigurable. Comparative evaluations of the many variables offered by the testbed will be performed, including the presence or absence of bezels between display tiles, display resolution, display form factor, display size and shape, input devices and interaction techniques, information layout, user location relative to the display, user roles, number of users, and degree of collaboration among users. Domain experts on applied research will serve to validate and extend the general principles obtained from the basic research addressing the following application areas. Classroom-based education, Architecture and building construction, Scientific data visualization, Command-and-control rooms, and The arts.Expected benefits include the Architecture of the reconfigurable display itself, Experiences with the design, Development and evaluation of high-resolution display methods and collaborative multi-user interaction techniques, Scientific results on the effects of a large number of display and interaction designs, and Applied research results in many domains.Broader Impact: Creates a unique resource for CS education that benefits many different disciplines
