20 Barco’s new OpSpace provides a number of displays on an operator’s desk, creating a single workspace for viewing, monitoring and interacting with multiple clients that reside on multiple networks with different security clearances or liability concerns.

All relevant information can be consulted and manipulated within a single pixel space, using a single mouse and keyboard.

With one click, operators can call any application into a work area positioned in front of them and interact with the application while maintaining an overview of the other applications still present in the peripheral vision. Barco believes this provides a more ergonomic and intuitive way of working, contributing to lower stress levels and better decision-making.

In addition, OpSpace can provide secure access across multiple domains, integrating only at the presentation layer. Operators are physically separated from the back-end systems that host the content, ensuring the system complies with governmental regulations and corporate requirements.

Many Governments are consulting about the introduction of driverless vehicles and even running trials. As 70% or 80% of crashes are caused by human error, the promise of a crash-free future of driverless, self-driving or autonomous vehicles (call them what you will) is alluring, as are the claims of reduced congestion and lower emissions
