18 Megapixel Game World Maps

Posted by Zonk on from the droooooool dept.

Via Joystiq, some beautiful maps of old school game worlds as displayed on a wall-mounted series of displays. From the article: "The HEyeWall is a modular large-scale screen consisting of several rear-projection units for creating enormous high-resolution displays. The total resolution shown here is about 6000x3000 pixels (18 Mpixels). Alexander stands next to the display in these photos to give you an idea of the scale."

    Wow, I guess this is what passes for news these days. Maps like these have been around for ages, but slap them on a LCD projector and have some guy stand in front of front of it to project a cool looking shadow and you have a news story. Insert "move along people" line here
