Interface

Wireless Area Network

HardwareSamsung SUR40

• The PixelSense can detect up to 52 simultaneous inputs which allows multiple users to interact with the interface at once.

• Infrared Sensors beneath the screen allows for tagged objects placed on the screen to be recognized, thus, adding an additional level of interaction.

Software

• Applications built using the Microsoft Surface 2 SDK

• Visual Studio: Visual C# IDE used for developing the logic for the surface applications

• Expression Blend: Used to design and personalize the user interface.

Functions• A crew member can place their “Smart Watch” on the screen

which will display a GUI that will allow the crew member to monitor and manipulate important personal information i.e. (Bio Medical, Schedule, Food consumption, etc.)

• A part from the vehicle can be placed on the screen and a manipulatable window displays showing part specific information such as Size, Weight, Make-up, and installation instructions if necessary.

• Set of windows that will display the current status of many different systems in the vehicle i.e. (ECLSS,GN&C,Propulsion, Comm. and Tracking, Caution and Warning, etc.)

Deliverables• Expandability of the program

• Multi-user functionality

• Tagged objects are recognized and info displayed properly

• Crew member information displaying correctly

• Vehicle systems information displaying correctly
