Top 50,000 apps spread across 30 Cinema Displays
Apple has upgraded its App Wall feature, which is on display this week at WWDC. The wall is now spread across an array of 30 synchronized 24-inch Cinema Displays, each showing App Store icons which fall from the top as customers purchase one of the titles.
The wall represents the 50,000 most popular apps, with 10,800 icons filling the wall before the sequence begins again. A rainbow effect is achieved by arranging groups of falling icons by color.
Apple powers the wall with 30 Mac Pro towers and NVIDIA GTX 285 graphics cards. The live downloads are input as XML feeds before being sorted and finally animated using Quartz Composer Visualizer. [via TechCrunch]
