Multiresolution visualization of massive models on a large spatial 3D display

We report on a cluster parallel multiresolution rendering system driving a spatial 3D display able to give multiple freely moving naked-eye viewers the illusion of seeing virtual objects floating at fixed physical locations situated in a human–scale working volume. The efficiency of this approach is demonstrated by an application supporting interactive manipulation of colored highly tessellated models on a large (1.6x0.9 meters) 50Mpixel display that allows for a room-size working space.
