Power Walls and Access Grid Session: High Resolution Tools for Access Grid Collaboration Event Type: SC Global Showcase Time: 4:00pm - 5:00pm Speaker(s): Gavin Warfield Burris, Marlow Hinton, HoongMaeng Chang, Christoph Willing, Brian Corrie Location: 618-620 Abstract: The combination of Access Grid video conferencing with large format powerwall displays offers a compelling user experience and the promise of high resolution shared work environments. Systems are produced by wrangling together a number of open source packages including Access Grid, DMX, Chromium, VTK and VRJuggler. What software tools are available? How are these tools brought together? What kind of hardware is recommended and what are the construction techniques? What are the current and planned uses? Join us as we explore these questions and share our experiences with varying user communities and our facilities.
