Hyperplant: Interaction with Plant through Live Video

Abstract This paper proposes an Object-Oriented Video technique, which enables operators to interact with objects in a live video just as they interact with graphic objects, and introduces a prototype system, HyperPlant, which has been implemented to demonstrate effectiveness of this technique. The Object-Oriented Video technique conveys realities of plants to operators in a control center and allows them to work on tasks in real spatial context. This context helps operators to intuitively grasp what they are doing and what is going on as the result of their actions.
