Edward J. Delp, at left, a Purdue professor of electrical and computer engineering, demonstrates a new large, high-resolution display with William Mengel, a consulting engineer for Thomson, a leading provider of technology and services for media and entertainment companies. The display was showcased on Tuesday and Wednesday (July 27-28) during a three-day homeland-security program for federal, state and local officials. The program included simulations aimed at improving how officials respond to terrorist attacks. The prototype, developed by Thomson with assistance from Purdue engineers, uses four separate projectors to display a single image onto the large screen. Innovative software allows the four separate projections to be blended together so that no seams are seen between adjacent segments, joining the four images into a single picture with higher resolution than regular television sets.
