Digiscope: Interaction in the Large
Digiscope is a network of high-performance platforms for interactive visualization of large datasets and complex computation. Distributed throughout the University of Paris-Saclay, Digiscope's ten rooms feature extremely large displays and advanced interaction devices, and are interconnected via a telepresence network that supports remote collaboration. Applications include scientific research, computer-aided design, decision support systems, and education.
The PIXLS and IRIS platforms are part of the Digiscope network. Find out more on the Digiscope website.
Digiscope was supported by a public grant overseen by the French National Research Agency (ANR) (ref. ANR-10-EQPX-0026).
