Introducing the World s Pre-Eminent Large Format Display!
The curtain goes up on Princeton s new Visualization Lab.
• 83 million pixels provide ultra-resolution at an unprecedented size. The resolution is an ideal match to human visual acuity.
• Floor-to-ceiling display wall stretches 40 wide, providing 360 sq. ft. of display real estate.
• A unique resource for research discovery, teaching, presentations, and visual arts.
Throughout the Open House, you are welcome to drop in, explore the lab, and chat with our visualization support staff. At the top of each hour, there will be a brief, 10-minute presentation from a community member, highlighting a project that suits the large-scale display. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 12:00 PM.
No registration is required, please stop by at any time. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this new resource with the community.
