Equipment and method for furnace visualization using virtual interactive windows

An apparatus for analyzing and visualizing conditions of a combustion process in an enclosure, the apparatus comprising:

• a visualization unit configured for providing continuously updated images of the enclosure for visualization of the enclosure to a user, using a viewing device having a display representing a virtual window of the enclosure;
• detecting a viewing angle and a viewing position of the user relative to the enclosure;
• illustrating an interior prospect of the enclosure relative to the viewing angle and position of the user based on the images of the enclosure;
• and
• adjusting, in realtime, the illustration of the interior prospect of the enclosure as at least one of the viewing angle and position of the user is changed for reflecting a changed view of the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer processor to analyze and visualize conditions of a combustion process in an enclosure, comprising instructions to:

• provide continuously updated images of the enclosure for visualization of the enclosure to a user, using a viewing device having a display representing a virtual window of the enclosure;
• detect a viewing angle and a viewing position of the user relative to the enclosure;
• illustrate an interior prospect of the enclosure relative to the viewing angle and position of the user based on the images of the enclosure;
• and
• adjust, in realtime, the illustration of the interior prospect of the enclosure as at least one of the viewing angle and position of the user is changed for reflecting a changed view of the user.
