The Vision
            State-of-the-art Learning and Research Centre
Providing outstanding support for Scholarship, Learning and the Creation of Knowledge,
   Libraries and Cultural Resources is a key component in the University’s Excellence in
   Research, Teaching and Community Service.

   Collections and University Press and through campus, community, national and
   international partnerships.

• Touch Kiosks
  – Sensitive to sunlight
  – Lack of vendor commitment to
    deliver cutting edge
  – No “killer” application

Notas do Editor

  1. Remember that the technology planning for the building was all done 2-5 years ago, so what is available now wasn’t then, and what was cutting edge then might not be now.
  2. Dedicated space for faculty researchFirst concept was a 3D, virtual reality CAVE
  3. In talks with faculty, another CAVE was not wantedInstead, some way of display &amp; working with large amounts of dataAs many pixels as we can get into one spaceSimple to use . . . Doesn’t require special software, OS, etc
  4. Here is the overview of the room. Main feature is the high resolution display wall, but there are also interactive tables for collaborative interaction and auxiliary displays for supplementary material/images.
  5. After a request for proposals the wall was assembled by Applied Electronics, a local audio-video company.The computer that runs this system in located on another floor in a server room, the video signals are transmitted via fiber to the projection room.
