Project Summary

Stanford University School of Medicine is currently conducting a project to understand the current state of high resolution visualization technology (display and projection) and its application in medical education, research, and clincial practice.

Project Goals

  • development of a prototype visualization DisplayWall (a panel of 3 x 3 LCD displays, linked to create a single display surface)
  • current assessment of the state of the DisplayWall technology landscape including software and hardware configurations and support
  • documentation of educational use scenarios
  • development of software tools and user interfaces that allow faculty to interact with multiple high resolution images and video for teaching purposes
  • creation of appropriate pedagogic content for a variety of courses and learning activities
