The Future Of Visualisation - Steering Through The Fog

The vision of future visualisation is an environment where technology provides the means to experience data, subsurface models and production facilities as if they were part of the real world. Visualisation should utilize our natural senses as in the real world: visibility in three dimensions and a virtual reality that can be felt and touched. We recognize the technology elements that lead the way to this vision: touch interfaces, gesture control, holography and auto stereoscopy to name a few. These tools help us steer through the fog and may be part of the solution to reach our vision. We do not know how much time it will take to reach this vision, but we are convinced that given our current business challenges we can’t wait for the developments to be made for us. We have to promote, sponsor, encourage and actively steer our stakeholders on the road to future visualisation.
