Telemetric visualisation of facilities, e.g. wind farms (RIVOPS)

Alexandre Van Damme, EATOPS ESA Business Incubator, Holland

RIVOPS is a graphic visualisation concept that can be utilised for the three-dimensional depiction of facilities such as wind farms and offshore conveyor machinery. Thanks to 3D and real-time telemetry, energy facilities can be measured at a distance better and faster. The control center was developed from experiences with the development of the space travel control center.
