Interface Design

Technesis - Copy and Fax Tracking Touchscreen Terminal

This is an actual touchscreen device which connected to a piece of hardware that communicates directly with copy machines and fax machines. The device tells the copy machine when its allowed to copy - and then keeps track of how many copies the user made, etc. The touchscreen interface allows users to type in their name, and then choose from a list of clients and projects which have already been entered into the database to bill the copies and faxes to. This kind of cost recovery implementation provides a huge cost savings to service oriented companies.

This interface is very simple - because it's designed for a touchscreen device. It's also smart however, because it's using a flash-based actionscripted application to pull all of the client names from an XML data source. It can then write out an xml data file after the user has entered their information, which can then be read by the actual Technesis Copy Tracking software application that is also running on that server.

Technesis - Console Software Application

This is a sample screen from one section of the Technesis Console Software Application. The Console, is the main administrative tool for maintaining the entire Technesis software installation and reviewing all of the data collected by the system, meant for one central administrator. This project was a chance for me to design an actual software application, integrating all of the branding elements that we had already developed for the marketing materials for the company, into the product itself. Software applications require quite a bit of graphical interface design and planning. I worked directly with the engineering team to develop the graphical look of the layout, the menus, the titlebars, and buttons, which was finally coded in HTML and PHP.
