What's that mean? Well, it's a 128-screen display that covers an entire wall, capable of rendering a quarter billion pixel graphics. It's 23 feet wide and 10 feet tall. Yeah, it's big and it's awesome. </p> <p>Unfortunately, they won't be playing Crysis on it anytime soon. Instead, it'll be used to "view, analyze, and communicate results from NASA’s high-fidelity modeling and simulation projects supporting the safety of new space exploration vehicle designs, atmospheric re-entry analysis for the space shuttle, earthquakes, climate change, global weather and black hole collisions." OK, that sounds pretty neat and everything, but seriously, NASA: let them hook an Xbox 360 up to that thing on the off hours. It'll be totally worth it, I swear.</p> <p><a name="more"></a> <p></p> <a name="more"> <br /></a></p> <p><a name="more"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall7.jpg" /></a></p> <p> <p><a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/nasas_hyperwall.php#"></a></p> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall7-THUMB.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall6-THUMB.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall5-THUMB.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall4-THUMB.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall3-THUMB.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall2-THUMB.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/"><img src="http://dvice.com/galleries/hyperwall/hyperwall1-THUMB.jpg" border="0" /></a></p> <p></a></p> <p><a href="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/06/nasas_hyperwall.php">DVICE: NASA's Hyperwall 2 is a 23 foot by 10 foot display that puts your TV to shame</a></p> <br />
