Hiperspace Is the World's Highest Resolution Display
July 11, 2008 | Chris Payatagool
Posted by Augustine
A few weeks ago we brought you news about the Hyperwall-2 which was developed by NASA and dubbed the "world's highest resolution visualization system." However, it appears that that title has already fallen to the Hiperspace, or the "Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space project" developed by UC San Diego. According to the press release, the display features nearly 287 million pixels of screen resolution--surpassing Hyperwall-2's record by about 10%. It is also about 30% bigger than the original Hiperspace Wall developed in 2006 at 31.8 feet wide and 7.5 feet tall.

From The Wainhouse Research Bulletin:

Internet Traffic Growth Doesn't Matter
June 9, 2008 | Chris Payatagool
Andrew Odlyzko, best known for his objective commentary on Internet traffic growth, spoke at the 2008 Gilder/Forbes Telecosm Conference. He helped clarify what really matters in the debate about Internet bandwidth growth. Consider this a survival guide in a time where "Internet traffic growth rates are slowing and Hype is accelerating."
Andrew Odlyzko was one of the first to burst the misconception (I'm being kind with this word choice) that Internet traffic was doubling every 3 months. He has devoted great effort to gather hard data about Internet traffic growth, a valuable service when virtually all commercial and financial participants are biased towards predicting larger than actual growth. It is tough to believe Cisco's prediction that traffic would grow 40% a year as it's objectivity is hopelessly compromised by it's market position. Does anyone really expect Cisco to predict Internet traffic below consensus opinion?

Holodeck 1.0? Star Trek-style 3-D displays make their debut
June 9, 2008 | Chris Payatagool
Crewmembers could also learn by using simulations to acquire new skills or execute training drills. They could simulate surgery, flight, and engine repairs in a truly realistic environment.
The holodeck is still science fiction, but last year researchers took the first, confident steps towards its realisation with the Coherent project. This EU-funded research project, developed a commercial, true 3-D display that could one day be called Holodeck version 1.0. It is called HoloVizio.
Telepresence: Costly, but Very Cool
June 6, 2008 | Howard Lichtman
By Bielski, Lauren
When remote communication with image was purely bout video conferencing, executives had to contend with herky jerky images, color issues, sound delays, and other annoying irregularities. No longer.
If you don't mind a hefty investment and a dedicated conference line for bandwidth, you can benefit from a new generation of video conferencing known as telepresence-available over the last year and starting to get wider use.
"It's not cheap, averaging $300,000 for a conference-ready room for the highest-end systems," says Claire Schooley, senior industry analyst, Forrester, who is based in their Foster City, Calif., office.
"But if we are talking about conducting high stakes meetings where reading the subtleties of body language is a requirement, then these systems are ideal," says Schooley.
