In this paper, an efficient technique is proposed to integrate the 3D user interface with the tiled display system in PC cluster environment. In the developed 3D user interface software, various menus are provided to increase the user friendliness of the interface, including the several model-control-commands. To eliminate the noise produced from the 3D user interface devices, the box filtering algorithm is employed. Further, a communication splitting algorithm, which is a kind of asynchronous communication method, is proposed to reduce the motion delay between the 3D interface and the tiled display system, and its efficiency is validated through the benchmarking tests.

Due to the recent advancement of networking and high-performance computing technologies, scientists can easily access large-scale data captured by scientific measurement devices through a network, and use huge computational power harnessed on the Internet for their analyses of scientific data. However, visualization technology, which plays a role of great importance for scientists to intuitively understand the analysis results of such scientific data, is not fully utilized so that it can seamlessly benefit from recent high-performance and networking technologies. One of such visualization technologies is SAGE (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment), which allows people to build an arbitrarily sized tiled display wall and is expected to be applied to scientific research. In this paper, we present a multi-application controller for SAGE, which we have developed, in the hope that it will help scientists efficiently perform scientific research requiring high-performance computing and visualization. The evaluation in this paper indicates that the efficiency of completing a comparison task among multiple data is increased by our system.

Ultra high-quality and ultra high-resolution omnidirectional 360-degree video streaming is needed to provide immersive media through head-mounted display(HMD) in virtual reality environment, which requires high bandwidth and computational complexity. One of the approaches avoiding these problems is to apply viewport-dependent selective streaming using tile-based segmentation method. This paper presents a performance analysis of viewport-dependent tiled streaming on 16K ultra high-quality 360-degree videos and 4K 360-degree videos which are widely used. Experimental results showed 42.47% of bjotegaard delta rate(BD-rate) saving on 16K ultra high-quality 360-degree video tiled streaming compared to viewport-independent streaming while 4K 360-degree video showed 26.41% of BD-rate saving. Therefore, this paper verified that tiled streaming is more efficient on ultra-high quality video.

To realize advanced collaboration environments for knowledge workers distributed geographically, there are extensive researches in ubiquitous computing environments. Especially, to cope with several known problems in traditional collaboration tools such as limited display resolution, uncomfortable shared documentation, difficult operation of collaboration environments, various approaches are attempted in the aspect of framework design. In this paper, we design a framework for collaboration environments covering hardware/software/networking architecture to flexibly coordinate a set of collaboration services and devices considering users' expectation and node capabilities. Based on the proposed framework, we develop the collaboration environment supporting the interactive networked tiled display enabling media/data sharing via networking, display interaction using pointing/tracking, and high-resolution tiled display. Finally the demonstration of the developed prototype is introduced to prove the possibility of its realization.

Establishing and maintaining optimum lamp operating temperature is critically important in backlight systems for large area displays. The information presented in this paper is based upon work completed for a tiled 37.5" AM LCD, plus projections for a 37.5", 42" & 50" monolithic display. Due to the size of the units, a requirement for highly collimated light and a requirement for high brightness, >550 nits at the display surface, significant wattage is required which generates high heat levels in the backlight display assembly and potentially, at the display rear surface. Uniformity of illumination becomes an important element in the system design because of the large area involved.

Recently as a scalable ultra-high-resolution display solution, networked tiled displays are realizing the simultaneous visualization of large number of media contents by dividing the processing (including decoding and rendering) and displaying tasks of display applications. However, users directly should know required resources in advance and directly choose machines for processing and displaying of media. In order to reduce the complexity, we propose new methods that analyze required resources for visualization of media and allocate the resources to processing machines. The usability of proposed method is verified by running several experiments over networked display system.

To interactively share High Definition (HD)-quality visualization over emerging ultra-high-speed network infrastructure, several lossless and low-delay real-time media (i.e., uncompressed HD video and audio) transport systems are being designed and prototyped. However, most of them still rely on expensive hardware components. As an effort to reduce the building cost of system, in this paper, we propose the integration of both transmitter and receiver machines into a single bi-directional transport system. After detailed bottleneck analysis and subsequent refinements of embedded software components, the proposed integration can provide Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)-based bi-directional transport of uncompressed HD video and audio from a single machine. We also explain how to interface the Gbps-bandwidth display output of uncompressed HD media system to the networked tiled display of 10240 $\times$ 3200 super-high-resolution. Finally, to verify the feasibility of proposed integration, several prototype systems are built and evaluated by operating them in several different experiment scenarios.
