Can anyone tell what kind of work he's actually using those for? The image is a little too potato for me to make much out.
We have rooms like this where i work. Theyre for live monitoring jet engine tests so we can monitor 1000+ pieces of instrumention to make sure the engines running safe.
That said, that floor looks too nice to be in our kind of facility. But i imagine hes got to be monitoring something in live time. Each screen is probably dedicated to a sub-system so he knows if something turns yellow or red, he immediately knows what system it is, whats going on, and can call the test back to a "safe operation"
So how the heck do you use a mouse with that many screens?
You.. move it? And.. click?
Many control rooms require you to keep an eye on a lot of things at the same time and have similar setups
