Abstract
Design of novel interface technologies is challenging
especially when the system is to be used in an advanced
process control activity. In this paper, we present the
design process of a new interactive operating panel
system, "Virtual panels," for a training simulator of a
Finnish nuclear power station. The Virtual panel concept
has been realized as a part of the training simulator's
human-system interface by introducing a set of
touch-sensitive wall-mounted and table-top displays. The
previously used conventional analogue operating panels
provided the model for the new digital panel system. The
main design aim has been to be able to capture the
quality "look and feel" of the old analogue panel system
in digital form. Overall, the Virtual panel development
has been an invaluable learning experience for the whole
multidisciplinary design team, and many innovative
solutions but also defensible compromises has needed to
be made in order to realize the new digital operating
panel system.
