[freezeme360]

How much megapixels is...

*Puts on sunglasses*

GOOGLE EARTH?

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!­!!!

Or should I say...terrapixels o_o

[GamerMGO]

pshhh its TERApixels that are all the rage now...

[bluewhale18]

minority report inspired

[dreemLight]

i don't see what this has to do with a slow web browser.

[FloOFy2]

Lol, the makings of minority report are coming alive. Imagine having this in your house, just have a really big curved screen around you and you're controlling everything with movement.

[iMysteryTube]

this product wont for me cause I CANT SNAP MY FINGERS :(

[RcUniverseGuy]

its just an ipad hes just really tiny

[mimimarcus]

YOUTUBE IS SO FUKCIN ANNOYING W/ ITS LAYOUT CHANGES! you have too much money. we get it!

[poopdude]

That is really cool.

sorry for my curiosity but how much did this project cost you ?

[aawsome69]

microsoft tried to do this with kinect.

[uetzel]

so that's what nerds do in their free time!

[BoomChakaWadaWada]

Theres a HUGE you tube project coming out on march 23rd 2011, thats why all of these videos are on the most viewed page. You're welcome.

[unpwnage]

Tony Stark's technology? With the touch hologram stuff in Iron Man. This is awesome.

[powerlifting1by1]

impressive

[tooosweeet]

Sorry, as an artist I have to say having consistent color and light is far more important than resolution. In other words, I'd much rather have a 1080 screen with good color and light, then 20 1080 screens stitched together, each with different color and brightness profiles. If they could make it seamless like from a single projector, it would be much more worthwhile.

[stoedle]

There are a number of approaches one can take to match the projectors in brightness, color and blending overlaps. Our wall is getting old, built about six years ago. At the time, we found that doing these corrections stole too much performance from the applications we wanted to run. Had we had more recent hardware, I would probably take a closer look at these approaches. It was never built as a commercial system, though, so these faults don't impact the research results we are getting from it :)

[RightCountry]

@tooosweeet And when the wheel was invented I bet there was a guy just like you complaining;"Ya, but where’s the car". It is called a building block.

[fixingbraincell]

if only they used a smooth, seamless cloth ... in order to take way that boxy thing

[irfaanfr1]

just amazing!

[JesusPaid4You]

TRUST IN JESUS TO SAVE YOU! CALL ON THE LORD JESUS NOW!

[777ranches1]

[TintStuff]

[MotweraCity]

[FeanorDae]

@MotweraCity

you have now accomplished your divine purpose in life. go die.

[CookieMonzta1995]

This is amazing!

[TheReapersSon]

That is fucking incredible.

[Scriptofmagic]

Amazing ! :)

[Purcader222]

I would like to see a boob on that...

[Tricipitinus]

not bad but after all the effort you should have at least kalibrated the projectors :)

that would avoid the grid-look

[WolfgangHH1953]

...dascha irre!!!!

[Cloude888]

just amazing zoom in

stringing photo's together wow

[jimday666]

very creative.

[818doodooroo]

I WANT ONE :(

[dukeofearle1231]

i thought the easy part would be to calibrate all neighboring projectors. guess not.

still cool though! props.

[mitchtay99]

I'd love to see a tropical rainforest on this

[weefek]

why? fuck that it would all look exactly the same when you zoomed in.

[ryosuke100]

Good stuff.

And the BGM is amazing too,what song it is?

[stevenxue1]

[moffe247]

[Larupo]

that'd be 1 crazy --wheres waldo?--lol

[mitchtay99]

I would like to make something like that but instead of viewing a city and the real world, it would view interact with, and arrange everything inside my mind. I could move, arrange, and navigate within all of my dreams, fantasies loves, fears, hatred, and happiness.

[mitchtay99]

Maybe a social network could be like this, for selecting and communicating with online friends.

[xxkillzorxx]

brilliant!

[Random1765]

wow...that picture is gonna be one huge file.

[MsTeleological]

apple eat ur heart out

[Guilhermian]

13.3 gigapixel! I would like to run Google Earth on this huge display

[oddmartinsand]

Playing Touhou on that shit must be fucking radical

[MorioKun1]

Well Done!!!

[MorioKun1]

@MorioKun1 How many p's is this? 9000p's!!!

[RuneMan226]

[MarvinJin13]

@EmilyKiss738 ehhhm?

[chutsu]

At the end of the day this item is nothing more than just a proof of concept, of which nothing new has been created...

[chefboyardeeman]

So?

[anexr]

is that tiesto in the background?

[AceOfSpades678]

Haha kinda reminds me of minority report

[bestamerica]

this wall is not good perfect match color,,,

one box is dark and another box is bright

[mitsudism]

What's the music? it's nice.

[mitsudism]

what's the music? it's nice.

[eudemonroks]

this is...COOL!

[spicyfart101]

now to just make all the projectors have the same brightness and contrast!!!!!!!!!! yay

[oc56k]

While the tech savvy can appreciate the scope of this setup, showing this to the general public only will register as perfectly normal and common CSI-type image ENHANCEment.

[Phalco01]

Elitist.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

i love this

[serip]

Really AWESOME!

Must've been hard to put up, but the final product, genious, awesome, fun !

Kudos for the great work !! ^^

[AndrosForever]

I go blind for a few seconds after I come

[FloridaFlasks]

this is sickness!!!! thank you guys for makig the world a techier place. we need more geniuses like this.

[MrYetismash]

Could you please allow me to take this system home? I promise to only use it for good. Congrats on an awesome piece of engineering and coding.

[V0RT3XXXXX]

I think i just jizz in my pants, that was just pure awesomeness

Now let's play some games on that screen

[FloridaFlasks]

Now let's play some games on that screen !!!! lol ..... computer and technology get better cuz we want to play games i love it.

[hoboX10]

this is so futuristic, its awesome

[pianomanca]

Hello! This is Charlie from the Top of the World Competition. I think you drove me to the competition site in Tromso, and I remember you telling me about your work with this giant screen!

[pianomanca]

Hello! I'm Charlie from the Top of the World Competition. I think you drove me to the competition site, one day in Tromso, and I remember you telling me about this display that you worked on.

[wilhelmsen07]

Sånn må jeg ha :P

[sakis79]

god's hands :p

[younghovcu]

Awesome

[officernikos]

This is so freaking cool!

[sabaziomc]

| Wooooo!!! :O

[SnowWolf91]

Amazing! Great job!

[nucleardreamer]

yes! fire-i! good choice in cameras. you guys are badass

[smileynish]

I noticed that some panels are darker than others in that map demo.. Can that be fixed by increasing the gamma/brightness of that projector? But then it might be easier to write a routine to make all the image with to the same level too.

[XStreetKingSX]

WOW!

[wirejacked]

Tom Cruise would be proud!

[IIIvolt]

It's nice, but they really should adjust brightness and contrast on every projector so that the picture was uniform... Then record a new video for youtube..

[Tuleele]

Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the future! :-D

[madmax10101]

I want one of thissss :D RLY good hardware

[btnheazy03]

my puter need moar megaHURTZ

[tsunamisplash]

Any chance of licensing the 13.3 gigapixel source file under creative commons, and then posting a torrent for it? You k now someone had to ask ;-)

[werido55]

love it

[Alexand3rS]

Holy crap there's my house!!

[jamieboyrockon]

Mother of God.

[Hambycomb]

How much would one of these cost?

[HipHopTheme]

@Hambycomb like $5000 probably

[joctee]

Yeah!
