Description

The invention relates to a screen device and a method for operating a screen device according to the preambles of the independent claims and to a method for planning a production line for producing products.

Such a screen device is already out of the DE 10 2014 221 926 A1 known. This screen device comprises a first OLED light source for generating a first light and a second OLED light source for generating a second light. In particular, the first OLED light source and the second OLED light source are arranged parallel to each other with a spacing. The design of the screen device is such that the first light at least partially enters the second OLED light source and is emitted via a light emission surface of the second OLED source. In addition, a control device is provided to control the first OLED light source and the second OLED light source independently of one another.

The object of the present invention is to provide a screen device and method by means of which a production plant for the production of products can be planned particularly advantageously.

This object is achieved by a screen device, by a method for operating a screen device and by a method for planning a production plant for producing products with the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the description.

A first aspect of the invention relates to a screen device having at least two screen elements spaced one above the other and at least partially covering each other, by means of which in each case at least one image can be output. In other words, the respective picture elements each have a display surface, in particular an image plane, in which the respective image can be displayed or is displayed during operation of the screen device. The respective display surfaces or the respective image planes of the screen elements overlap or overlap each other in the arrangement of the screen elements. This means that plane normals of the image planes, which run perpendicular to the respective image planes, run parallel to one another. In a viewing direction along one of the plane normals of one of the screen elements, the display surfaces of the screen elements arranged one above the other and at least partially covering one another overlap at least in regions. This means that along the plane normal the screen elements are arranged consecutively or successively and thus overlap each other along the plane normal. In an installation position of the screen elements they are aligned with their image planes parallel to a ground plane on which the screen device is arranged, so that their plane normal in the vertical direction perpendicular to the ground plane. In particular, at least one plane normal of one of the screen elements is perpendicular to the display surface of the other of the screen elements and passes through the display surface of the other of the screen elements. In particular, respective broad sides of the screen elements overlap or overlap each other at least partially, in particular at least predominantly or completely. The screen device further comprises a control device, by means of which the at least two screen elements are independently controllable to output the respective image. In particular, the screen elements are electronic screen elements or electronic screens or electronic displays which are electronically controllable independently of one another by means of the electronic control device.

In order to allow a particularly advantageous planning of a production plant for the production of products, the screen elements each have a touch-sensitive surface, by means of which a first user input received by a user for the control device can be provided, by means of which at least one of the images in response to the first user input is customizable. In other words, the first user input can be received by at least one user by means of the respective touch-sensitive surface of the screen elements, which is subsequently transmitted from the respective assigned screen element to the control device. The controller receives the first user input and creates or modifies at least one of the images in response to the received first user input.

In an application of the screen device thus a particularly simple and intuitive planning of a production plant for the manufacture of products is possible. This is made possible, in particular, by the fact that by means of the screen elements, a model for the production plant deposited in the control device is displayed to the at least one user and by means of the touch-sensitive surfaces of the at least a user can be created or changed. For planning the production plant, each of the screen elements can represent a workstation or one of several production levels of the production plant. By means of the first user input received by the user, production components, such as individual machines, for example, can be inserted into the model of the production plant or changed in the model. By means of the user input, the user can change an arrangement of at least one production component in one of the production levels, which are represented by the respective screen elements, or arrange the production component in a different production level of the production plant. Here, by means of the touch-sensitive surface, which has received the first user input, the change or creation of the production component is detected and transmitted to the control device, so that the stored model can be adapted and stored according to the change by means of the control device. By means of the control device, the production components stored in the model and their arrangement in respective production levels are output via the screen elements to the user. In this case, the respective screen elements are individually controllable by the control device, so that the user can make separate changes to the respective production levels of the model by means of the first user input. This makes possible a particularly simple change of the model of the production plant stored in the control device by means of the screen device in order to thereby particularly advantageously plan the production plant.

In this context, it has proved to be advantageous if the screen elements are translucent and / or comprise an OLED light source with organic light-emitting diodes. Under the translucency of the screen elements is to be understood that the screen elements in each case from a first state in which the screen elements are at least partially transparent, in a second state in which the screen elements are at least partially translucent, switchable and switched during the planning of the production plant become. In this case, a region of at least one of the screen elements is transparent in the first state and translucent in the second state. In addition, the area may be opaque in a third state in which the respective screen elements may be additionally switchable. Switching between a transparent state, a translucent state and an opaque state of the at least one region of the respective screen element can be carried out particularly advantageously if the screen elements each comprise an OLED light source with the organic light-emitting diodes. As an alternative or in addition to the OLED light source, the screen elements of the OLED light source may comprise different other light sources. For example, production components represented by the screen elements can be displayed in an opaque and / or translucent manner and respective regions of the production levels in which no production components are represented can be displayed transparently. As a result, the production levels of the model of the production plant represented by the screen elements for the user by means of the screen device are particularly easy to see because the user can see through transparent areas of the screen elements on at least one underlying screen element. This can result in a three-dimensional impression of the model of the production plant for the user, wherein the individual production levels of the production plant can be represented two-dimensionally by means of the images of the screen elements. For example, the images are stacked on the screen elements in accordance with an arrangement of the production levels relative to each other. In particular, in this case, a ground floor can be displayed on a screen element arranged at the bottom. The stacking of the images on the screen elements according to the relative arrangement of the production levels is not absolutely necessary, especially if in the model of the production plant more production levels are available as screen elements are available.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one input element connected to the control device is provided, by means of which a second user input received by a user can be transmitted to the control device. Furthermore, by means of the control device, at least one of the images can be adapted as a function of the second user input. In this case, the second user input can be made by a first user who is different from the first user input and who is different from the first user and a second user or by the first user. The input element can be, for example, a mouse or a keyboard, wherein a mouse display or a keyboard input can be displayed in at least one of the images by means of at least one screen element by the control device incorporating the second user input into a creation or adaptation of the images , In this case, the control device can be connected to a plurality of input elements. At least one input element may alternatively be a computing device with which the Control device via a cable or a wireless network, in particular the Internet or an intranet, is connected. About this computing device, which is arranged externally and spaced from the screen elements and / or the control device, the model of the production plant can be created and / or changed or adapted. This allows a cross-site creation or modification of the stored in the control device model of the production plant.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least two screen elements are held on a scaffold. In particular, the framework is arranged on the ground level and fixes the screen elements parallel to the ground plane. In this way, a distance between the ground plane and the screen elements can be set, so that a particularly comfortable operation of the screen elements by a user is possible. In addition, by means of an adjusting device of the framework, a distance between the parallel to each other and stacked screen elements can be adjusted.

A second aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating a screen device, via which at least one image is output in each case by means of two screen elements which are arranged at a distance from one another and overlap one another in a planar manner. Furthermore, by means of a control device, the at least two screen elements are controlled independently of each other for outputting the images. Here, the images can be different from each other. In order to allow a particularly advantageous planning of a production plant for the production of products, the screen elements each have a touch-sensitive surface, by means of which at least one user input received by a user for the control device is provided. By means of the control device, moreover, at least one of the images is set as a function of the first user input. In this case, the screen elements may each comprise an OLED light source with organic light-emitting diodes, wherein the respective image is output by means of the respective OLED light source. By means of the respective images of the screen elements, production levels of a production plant deposited as a model in the control device can be output to at least the user. By means of the touch-sensitive surfaces of the picture elements, the first user input of the user, which characterizes a change of the model or a creation of the model, can be received and transmitted to the control device. After receiving the first user input, the control device changes or sets up the stored model of the production facility as a function of the received first user input and outputs the changed model of the production facility to the at least one user by means of the screen elements. In this case, depending on the first user input at least one of the images is changed. For example, the user may operate the user input by touching one of the touch-sensitive surfaces of the screen elements. Here, the user may touch the respective touch-sensitive surface with a stylus and / or with a finger to make the respective first user input. For example, by means of the control device, at least one of the images can be used to output to the user an operating menu by means of which the user can make predetermined first user inputs. This predetermined user input may characterize scrolling between levels, particularly the levels of production on the screen elements. Alternatively or additionally, the predetermined user input may characterize setting a transparency of the images and / or rotating the images and / or zooming the images and / or aligning the images. Moreover, the predetermined user input may characterize a desire to output additional information. This predetermined user input can be freely programmable and / or dependent on an application software used. Thus, for the user by means of the method, a particularly simple and comfortable creation or modification of the model stored in the control device for the production plant is possible.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that by means of at least one input element connected to the control device a second user input is received by a user and transmitted to the control device, by means of which at least one of the images is adjusted in dependence on the second user input. Thus, the user can initiate the creation or modification of the model of the production plant both by means of the first user input made via the touch-sensitive surface and via the second user input made by means of the input element. The input element can be PC input devices such as a mouse or a keyboard or a computing device connected to the control device. This allows the model of the production facility stored in the control device to be changed by means of the second user input made at a distance from the screen elements.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the control device, the at least one first user input and process another first user input and / or the second user input and adjust at least one of the images in response to the user input. Thus, in a first case, the controller may receive and process multiple first user inputs. In this case, the first user input and the further first user input can be made on different screen elements or on the same screen element. Furthermore, the first user input and the further first user input may be made by the same user or by different users. In a second case, the controller processes at least a first user input and at least a second user input. In this case, the at least one first user input and the at least one second user input can be made by the same user or by different users. In a third case, the controller may process multiple second user inputs from one or more users. The controller processes the user inputs synchronously or in parallel with time and adjusts at least one of the pictures in response to the user inputs. This allows a collaborative planning of the production plant in real time. For example, users located at different locations can simultaneously edit the model of the production facility stored in the control device via respective user inputs.

In order to enable the simultaneous processing, it is provided in a development of the invention that the control device additionally provides the images for outputting via the Internet to the control device and spaced from the screen device output device for outputting. In this case, the output device can be connected to a computing device and be configured, for example, as a screen device, by means of which the second user the model of the production plant can be output at least partially, to allow processing by the second user. This is particularly advantageous when the second user is at a distance from the screen elements so that they can not view the screen elements.

In this context, it has proved to be particularly advantageous if the control device provides the images for a portable data processing device, in particular a virtual reality glasses, as an output device. This means that the output device is configured as the virtual reality glasses, so that the second user can output the images via the virtual reality glasses connected to the control device. In particular, the model of the production facility can be output in three dimensions to the second user by means of the virtual reality glasses, so that the second user, which is at a distance from the screen elements, can view the model three-dimensionally. In this case, by means of the virtual reality glasses for the second user an impression can be created that this is located within the modeled production plant. It is thus possible a spatial view of installed equipment in the model of the production plant. In this case, the second user can particularly advantageously assess the ergonomics of the modeled production plant and check collision freedom and undercuts. In a so-called "walk through" mode, the second user can track a production process that can be carried out in the production plant from front to back or from beginning to end, by virtually using the virtual reality glasses in the model and, if necessary, moving them. Alternatively or additionally, the second user located at a distance from the screen elements could be trained by means of the virtual reality glasses with regard to a construction of the model of the production plant.

A third aspect of the invention relates to a method for planning a production plant for producing products by means of a screen device, as has already been described in connection with the screen device according to the invention. Alternatively or additionally, the method for planning the production plant comprises a method for operating a screen device, as has already been described in connection with the method according to the invention for operating a screen device. In the process, the respective images indicate workstations of the production facility. The workstations can be a complex of several production components. In particular, the respective images show respective production levels of a model of the production plant, wherein a production level may comprise several workstations. For example, a production level is represented by an image. Alternatively, respective images can represent areas of individual production levels, in particular each one workstation. The display elements can display value-added main trades, supporting subordinate trades, connecting conveyor technology, buffers and storage, workstations, supply / supply air and supply facilities, in particular energy supply facilities, logistics and supply routes, stairs, elevators, lifts, rooms, in particular special rooms, walls and fire sections. A degree of abstraction of the respective image displayed by means of the screen element can be selected as desired. It can, for example, a black box representative of the entire production plant up to a maximum Detail representation of the production plant, in particular from a three-dimensional model of a manufacturer of the production plant to be selected.

Advantages and advantageous embodiments of the screen device according to the invention and of the method according to the invention for operating a screen device are to be regarded as advantages and advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention for planning a production plant for producing products. For this reason, the advantages and advantageous embodiments of the method for planning a production line for the manufacture of products here are not once again rubbed.

Further features of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the single figure and the description of the figures. The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the single figure can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations or in isolation.

The invention will now be described with reference to a preferred embodiment and with reference to the drawings. Here, the single figure shows a schematic perspective view of a screen device, by means of which a production plant is planable, with three spaced from each other and arranged one above the other at least partially covering screen elements, which are arranged in a common frame.

According to a current state of the art, planning of production plants for the production of products, in particular of production halls in an early phase, takes place predominantly manually and analogously, without continuous use of digital tools. Specifically, this means that already digitized planning elements, in particular a process section, are first printed on a material, in particular paper, around them per production level 20 the production plant or hall level of the production hall on a planning table, in particular on a Plexiglas table to connect. The process section may include conveyor technology. This initially generated layout is then refined as long as possible, in particular for optimizing processes or for alternative scenarios in the production plant, until an efficient value stream is achieved in the production of products produced by the production plant, which previously defined premises and performance characteristics, in particular key performance indicators does justice. This approach has proved to be expedient due to its high flexibility and intuition, especially in a variant-rich, early phase of structural projects, in this case the production plant. The limitations of this type of planning currently lie in a lack of continuity of digital models and in a spatial constraint, since the model of the production plant is only present on the planning table. This complicates a cross-location collaboration and documentation of planning results. These disadvantages are with the screen device described below 1 avoided.

The single FIGURE shows a schematic perspective view of a screen device 1 with three spaced from each other and arranged one above the other at least partially covering screen elements 2 , by means of which in each case at least one image 22 is dispensable. Furthermore, the screen device includes 1 a control device 3 , by means of which the at least two screen elements 2 can be independently controlled to output the respective image. When operating the screen device 1 is done by means of the screen elements 2 at least one picture each 22 output. Furthermore, by means of the control device 3 the screen elements 2 independently of each other to output the images 22 driven.

In order to allow a particularly advantageous planning of a production plant for the manufacture of products, the screen elements 2 one touch-sensitive surface each 4 by means of which a user input received by a user 5 for the control device 3 is available. By means of the control device 3 is at least one of the pictures 22 depending on the first user input 5 customizable. That means the first user input 5 which is achieved by pressing and / or touching at least one of the touch-sensitive surfaces 4 is characterized by means of a respective touch-sensitive surface 4 is detected and sent to the control device 3 is transmitted. By means of the control device 3 will be at least one of the pictures 22 depending on the first user input 5 adjusted or adjusted and then by means of the respective screen element 2 output to the user. At least one of the pictures 22 can be a representation of a user interface 6 include, by means of which the user predetermined first user input can be proposed. By touching the respective touch-sensitive surface 4 in the area of the user interface 6 the user can make one of the predetermined first user input.

Lets the user enter the first user 5 can operate particularly comfortable, are the superimposed screen elements 2 on a scaffold 7 held. The scaffolding 7 forms together with the screen elements 2 a planning table. The screen elements 2 are each parallel to each other and parallel to a ground plane 8th on which the scaffolding 7 is arranged, aligned. In the present case is a top of the screen elements 2 , which compared to the other screen elements 2 a greatest distance to the ground level 8th for native processing of the first user input 5 set up. The other screen elements 2 are present for emulated processing of the first user input 5 set up. By means of an adjusting device 9 is a distance between the screen elements 2 as well as between the screen elements 2 and the ground level 8th adjustable.

To a particularly advantageous representation of the images 22 by means of the screen elements 2 to allow assign the screen elements 2 in each case an OLED light source with organic light-emitting diodes. The respective OLED light source allows at least a portion of each of the screen elements 2 between a transparent state in which the region is transparent, a translucent state in which the region is translucent, and an opaque state in which the region is opaque can be switched. This allows production components of the production plant by means of the screen elements 2 schematic and opaque and / or translucent on a transparent background of the screen element 2 being represented. The screen elements 2 can via an application software and / or manually via an operating menu, in particular the user interface 6 to be served.

For a collaborative planning is the control device 3 with several input elements 10 connected. In the present case, a first of the input elements 10 as a keyboard 11 and a second of the input elements 10 as a mouse 12 educated. Both the keyboard 11 as well as the mouse 12 are over cable with the control device 3 connected. In the other input elements shown 10 are external computing devices 13 that of the control device 3 spaced apart and with the control device 3 over the internet 14 are connected. Alternatively or additionally, the external computing devices 13 via an intranet in the context of system networking with the control device 3 be connected. By means of the input elements 10 is at least a second user input 19 receivable by a user and to the controller 3 transferable, wherein by means of the control device 3 at least one of the pictures 22 depending on the second user input 19 is customizable. In other words, by means of at least one of the input elements 10 the second user input 19 received and sent to the control device 3 transfer. Subsequently, the control device 3 at least one of the pictures 22 depending on the second user input 19 on. In the present case, the control device receives 3 four first user entries 5 and at least a second user input 19 over one of the with the control device 3 connected input elements 10 , The control device 3 processes the user inputs synchronously or simultaneously and fits at least one of the pictures 22 depending on the user input.

The connection of several over the Internet 14 with the control device 3 connected computing devices 13 allows integration of multiple participants, especially several users for a common and especially simultaneous processing of the model 21 , The multiple users can be with any terminal devices, in particular smartphone, laptop or touchpad, trained computing devices 13 with the control device 3 connect.

Processing of the user inputs by means of the control device 3 takes place here according to a process scheme 15 , By means of the control device 3 the user inputs are in an input step 16 received, in an assignment step 17 processed and in an output step 18 output.

In the input step 16 become respective first user inputs 5 and second user input 19 from the control device 3 received and in the assignment step 17 respective production levels 20 assigned to the production plant. Subsequently, a in the control device 3 deposited model 21 the production plant depending on the respective production levels 20 adapted to user input. Subsequently, at the output step 18 by means of the control device 3 to the respective screen elements 2 a respective, the adapted model 21 corresponding picture 22 output. Notwithstanding the representation correspond to the means of the control device 3 output images 22 in number a number of the with the control device 3 connected screen elements 2 , In this case represents each of the pictures 22 a production level 20 of the model 21 Thus, there are effectively at least as many screen elements 2 available as production levels of the production plant. Sectional views, in particular of production levels, can by means of other screen elements 2 , especially at intermediate levels.

The control device 3 put the pictures 22 in this case in addition to a wireless over the Internet with the control device 3 connected and from the screen device 1 spaced output device ready to output. In the present case, the output device is a portable data processing device, in particular as virtual reality glasses 23 educated. Using the virtual reality glasses 23 can give the user the pictures 22 and / or three-dimensional model information of the model 21 so that this gives a three-dimensional impression of the model 21 can get. This allows one to teach the user, who may be an employee, via one using the virtual reality glasses 23 viewable virtual space in which the model 21 is arranged. Due to the wireless connection between the virtual reality glasses via the Internet 23 and the control device 3 can the virtual reality glasses 23 carrying users spaced from the screen device 1 be arranged. At the virtual reality glasses 23 it is a so-called wearable.

The described screen device 1 The finding is based on the fact that exist in the current state of the art as software for visualization of planning content both 2D applications such as IE, Visio or MS Office as well as 3D applications such as MM, CAD or CFD. These are already being used in digital tools, called tools, for multi-level content planning, such as architecture, civil engineering, engineering and heavy industry, electronics and consumer goods, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, medicine , Nuclear technology, etc. Here, the example of building construction, a 3D model in various areas are shown as a section to perform layout planning on different floors and connect with each other, for example, via stairs. An operation of digital tools or user interfaces in general can take place, among other things, via haptic inputs, so-called multi-touch inputs known from smartphones. In addition, set-up navigation menus, so-called pop-up menus, allow quick access to certain predefined contents. Currently, it is not possible to edit content of a planning tool on multiple output devices by multiple users with a specific focus at different levels. In addition, a combination of two-dimensional planes and perspective three-dimensional representation and transparency functions is not possible. Currently, the planning is done detached from level to level, whereby overarching changes in the three-dimensional representation or in a two-dimensional level are therefore not transferred to all other affected levels. Also, a perspective view is not given today, depending on the position of a viewer a three-dimensional insight into the model 21 allows. In addition, in a parallel and multi-site work on content such as a sharepoint, an exchange of data in real time is limited, as to transmit changes to the model 21 an active saving or reloading is necessary.

The hardware used in the prior art for processing large amounts of data is frequently high-performance standard PCs, which are accessed across locations, for example via remote access via Ethernet or WLAN, or as a central processing unit, so-called host. These standard PCs can be connected via various interfaces such as HDMI or USB with inputs or outputs for operation or visualization of content. As a rule, monitors or large-format display devices such as, for example, LCD / LEDs over 80 inches are used, the latter now being able to have a transparency or translucency option, which are implemented, for example, by means of OLEDs. Also increasingly portable devices such as so-called wearables or data glasses are used, allowing users a fusion of reality and virtuality and free movement in space. So far, overlay, perspective, and transparency in transferring content to conventional screens is limited, if at different levels of the model 21 is working. Also, OLEDs currently have no solution for stacking vertically or horizontally to allow overlaying and perspective of content at different levels. In addition, touche input on conventional touch screens such as OLEDs currently only emulated with infrared, which means converted, instead of a native processing, which would allow a high-performance and intuitive operation. In native processing, a respective user input is via touch, that is, a respective one by touching one of the touch-sensitive surfaces 4 first user input 5 , supported both by the hardware, as well as by the software, in particular by an associated operating system.

With regard to an interaction or collaboration, in the prior art by software solutions or hardware solutions, a parallel, that means simultaneous manipulation of digital content by several Users are implemented. The content can be changed by hand, by computer mouse, by stylus and so on. In order to enable such an operation or visualization, streaming media such as Skype, mezzanine or DEON are used, by means of which inputs and outputs of the multiple users can be bundled. Here, a simultaneous processing of documents is usually limited to a user who gets assigned rights to the document for this purpose, wherein the document is stored at one of the participating users, a so-called client. Alternatively, a central data storage, a so-called Sharepoint, can be used on the document successively in a so-called sequential batch processing or in parallel, wherein the document should always be stored for updating and reloaded at the clients. A bidirectional exchange of inputs and outputs is often limited by a performance. In addition, operating a standard PC with several input devices is currently not possible at the same time.

Aim of the described screen device 1 is to enable real-time cross-site, collaborative planning. For this purpose, technologies which are known at least in part according to the prior art, are specifically combined with each other and thus allow the creation of new functionalities. In order to ensure a perspective representation and superimposition of two-dimensional and three-dimensional contents, it is necessary to have a plurality of translucent display devices, in the present case the screen elements 2 to stack vertically one above the other. This is done every single screen element 2 via the central processing unit (PC / host), in this case the control device 3 , with different content per screen element 2 driven. Manipulating the various contents, especially the images 22 , is done by an operation of each individual screen element 2 via touch inputs and / or via PC input devices such as the mouse 12 , and / or online through other users over the Internet 14 , The manipulation of the contents on the screen elements 2 can do this level by level on the respective assigned screen element 2 respectively. The user inputs of the integrated users are processed synchronously, so that a collaborative editing of the displayed content at all production levels 20 is possible, with multiple users also at a production level 20 can work. It is irrelevant whether working directly on site at the screen device 1 or via connected participants via the Internet 14 done via smartphones or clients. Generated data, in particular changes to the model 21 , are via streaming centrally on the control device 3 This allows clients to access, transfer, visualize, and manipulate content anywhere. Advantageous to the screen device 1 Here is in particular that a decentralized data preservation on the control device 3 takes place, so that an amount of data can be kept very low, since content from the control device 3 just be streamed. For a navigation in terms of the model 21 and predetermined first user input 5 such as "Change layers,""Changetransparency," or "Change focus," will pop up on at least one of the screen elements 2 shown. A correct perspective on the contents or the pictures 22 as well as accessibility is ensured by the screen elements 2 can be moved and adjusted in all spatial directions. An integration of wearables, in this case the virtual reality glasses 23 also allows a spatial representation of the content to enable a so-called cognitive walk / fly through.

The advantages of the screen device 1 or the method for operating the screen device 1 lie in a particularly advantageous traceability by the user through a correlation of two-dimensional content and three-dimensional content as well as a spatially perspective view and a superposition of content and a transparency / translucency. This allows a particularly efficient collaboration of multiple users through collaborative collaboration on the model 21 both on-site the screen device 1 as well as across multiple planning locations. The user inputs can be processed parallel to time and using selected screen elements 2 and / or output devices such as the virtual reality glasses 23 or a screen device of a computing device 13 be illustrated. Thus, the user inputs are processed synchronously, rather than purely sequential batch processing. The screen device 1 can be operated in parallel by several users, without the use of special devices. For this, the model 21 or the pictures 22 centrally in the control device 3 managed and, inter alia, via the Internet 14 made accessible to a selected group of users, so that an exchange of data via the Internet 14 on a transfer and visualization of the pictures 22 and user input as part of streaming. In addition, changes to the model 21 directly in the control device 3 stored as part of a so-called versioning to make scenarios and / or versions available.
