Abstract

The continuous process industry is currently facing a serious need for systems that allow to monitor and manage their factories. Despite the existing industrial visualization screens provide for a partial answer to the identified issue, there is a set of new technologies who might help on developing the existing industrial visualization systems and provide and improved aid to the human controllers who monitor and manage the production processes. The presented paper aims at not only delivering a serious and focused characterization on the existing industry visualization screens, but above all, it intends to present several opportunities, challenges and new perspectives for the use of innovative visualization technologies (such as 2.5D/3D screens, augmented and virtual reality) in those industries whose production process assumes itself as continuous. This contribute, from our perspective will serve as a basis for further research on the field.
