100 million pixels of virtual reality
May 18th, 2006

It’s ironic that Iowa State University (ISU) announced a big upgrade of its C6 virtual reality (VR) room the same day as SGI filed for bankruptcy. Back in 2000, this 10×10x10 feet room was powered by SGI Onyx2 computers. The new version of this six-sided VR room will now use 96 graphics processing units from Hewlett-Packard.
