Augmented reality for SCADA

Abstract

Questions of construction of the Augmented Reality for application in SCADA-systems are considered. It is marked, that last years researchers from Russia actively started studying this branch. The author considers the augmented reality in a section of a reality-virtuality continuum taking into account restrictions of memory of the operator and social aspect of application augmented reality. Recommendations on environmental analysis and reading of data from display devices are given. The greatest efficiency of application augmented reality is seen in joint activity and carrying out of works which demand coordinated work. The necessity of the further researches for developing of network architecture, safety, confidentiality and protection against extraneous intervention is noted. Advantage of augmented reality is reuse of software, databases and knowledge. At the replacement of maintenance staff and users of SCADA-system there is no need to teach them all the knowledge and skills at once. They will receive them directly in the process of application. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
