Abstract

Visualization systems that support multiple-display viewing can greatly enhance user perception. The common approach to provide multiple synchronized views uses a powerful centralized processing unit to support the rendering process on all screens. As an alternative approach, we propose a distributed architecture that supports a flexible and reliable visualization system that, while giving the users a sensation of immersion, uses heterogeneous network of low-end graphics workstations. The proposed system ensures portability and synchronization of all displayed views.
