Abstract
An interactive hyperwall containing a plurality of meta-monitors having a computer with an operating system and bearing multiple graphic cards, multiple displays supported by the graphic cards, and a computer-readable storage device with software; a hyperwall system, for simultaneous visualization of different representations of multidimensional data, the hyperwall system containing an interactive hyperwall. The components of the hyperwall system used may be ‘off the shelf’ components. Open source software may be used to achieve the display; and a method of simultaneously visualizing different representations of data by creating an interactive hyperwall. The interactive hyperwall includes a plurality of meta-monitors, each meta-monitor having a computer with a network ID and multiple graphic cards, multiple displays supported by the graphic cards, and a storage device with software. Polling is performed to determine if visualization is requested and, if visualization is requested, data representations are displayed.
