Short Description
The Data Visualization Space of the TU Wien Bibliothek provides infrastructure for experimenting with and implementing 2D and 3D visualization projects. A 3D-capable, floor-to-ceiling LED wall (format ~480x270 cm) and optical head and hand tracking, with the help of shutter glasses, enable visualization in 3D stereo and thus an intuitive and immersive experience of complex interrelationships of digital data for groups of about 10 people. The 3D LED wall installation allows the use of a wide range of interactive 3D applications and is supported by the computing and graphics card power required for this purpose.
The opposite video wall is an interactive touch wall consisting of LCD displays with an IR touch frame (size 409 x 121 cm). It is driven by a controller that enables various operating scenarios and allows up to six simultaneous users to operate content simultaneously using standard gestures. A single 65" touch screen with 4K resolution on the back of the touchwall allows the display of the same content for accessible operation by wheelchair users.
Both video walls are also playable via external players.
A stereo audio system is available for each of the installations.
