Developing a DUI Based Operator Control Station

Distributed User Interfaces (DUIs) provide new degrees of freedom to the distribution of systems. This work presents a seamless way for developers to handle the event communication structure much in the same way as in traditional applications. Our framework Marve is the externalization experience of developing several DUI systems. To evaluate our framework we developed a DUI system together with SAAB Aerosystem Human-Machine Interaction division. Using our approach to develop the sample application we show that the current model for development of UIs can be extended to incorporate support for DUI development.
