CRANEium

Designing future user interfaces for big machinery which cannot be used efficiently for testing is hard. To verify our designed user interfaces and test them in a realistic manner we developed a crane simulator depicting the future workplace of a crane operator.

The simulator was shown at the Final CRANEium Event event to the Arbeiterkammer Oberösterreich and Voestalpine.

Simulator Setup

The simulator consists of a vertical curved primary monitor, two secondary monitors on either side showing a plan of the tasks, a map, indicators and different camera views for exact positioning and a motion capable seat simulating the crane cabins movement.
