About the IQ-Wall

The IQ-Wall has been developed by the UITS Advanced Visualization Lab to promote innovative research and education using information-rich, ultra-resolution displays. A collaborative effort of the IU Libraries, UITS, and the Pervasive Technology Institute, the wall is made up of 12 high-resolution monitors with a total of 12.5 million pixels and is available for use by IU faculty, students, and staff.

The IQ-Wall is run by a Windows 7 computer, so it is as easy to operate as any desktop or laptop computer. There are a variety of software programs installed that enhance the wall experience or can be used for specific application, and there are USB ports for you to bring your data to the wall. Additional software may be installed upon request.

The IQ-Wall is designated for research, teaching, and learning pursuits by IU students, faculty and staff. Uses of the IQ-Wall are limitless, from displays of geospatial maps and complex visualizations to curated exhibitions and running arcade game simulations.

For additional information, consult the IQ-Wall Policies for Use.
