The project involved designing a user interface for a sophisticated device control system used in a multi-player gaming environment. The goal was to create a UI that not only addressed the functional requirements of the system but also enhanced the overall user experience for both players and staff. This involved developing several key interface screens:
-
Status Page: Displays system errors and alerts in real-time, ensuring quick troubleshooting.
-
Device List Page: Shows the status of each connected device, including readiness and error states.
-
Action Monitoring Page: Provides updates on current actions within the system to keep users informed of game progress.
-
Zone Control Page: Includes a grid representation for zone management, equipped with LED chase controls and a color picker for custom settings.
-
Maintenance Page: Facilitates the initial setup of the playing area and ongoing adjustments, crucial for preparing the game environment.
-
Mode Switching Page: Allows users to save layouts and adjust zone settings seamlessly, enhancing game flexibility.
-
Shortcut Commands Page: Offers quick access to frequently used functions like system restarts and lighting controls to streamline operations during games.
-
Comprehensive Control Page: Consolidates all critical controls into one accessible location, simplifying the management of power and player settings.
The interface was designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, supporting rapid adoption and reducing the learning curve for new staff and players alike. It integrates visual cues and straightforward navigation elements to ensure that managing the complex functionalities of the control system feels effortless and engaging.
