"Watch the Document on the Wall!" An Analytical Model for Health Care Documents on Large Displays

Very large, high-resolutions displays, such as tiled display walls with resolutions ranging from tens of mega pixels up to 100+ mega pixels enables visualization of data in ways never before possible. Even if the technology is still emerging and faces challenges such as interaction problems and development of rendering technology, both hardware and software, the potentials for visualizing large data sets are still very exciting. Within this thematic framework, we provide an introduction to the current state of research on use of very large, high-resolution displays and a general discussion of the role of scale/size of documents as basis for discussion and a conceptual framework for analysis of "large documents", specifically for medical-imaging related documents.
