Project: Polygon Homes - Wordsworth Touch Screen
Examples coming soon
Objective:
As an independent developer, I created a touch screen experience for Polygon Homes to showcase their new development, Wordsworth, at their sales center. The objective was to provide an interactive platform that effectively highlights the building features, floorplans, views, images of the interior and exterior, neighborhood, amenities, and feature list to potential buyers.
Technology used:
To create the touch screen experience, I utilized the following technologies:
- Electron: A framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies, enabling the touch screen application to be packaged and installed on the touch screen hardware.
- React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces, used as the framework for developing the touch screen application.
- Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework, used for styling and enhancing the visual appearance of the touch screen application.
Challenges:
During the development process, I encountered the challenge of handling image-heavy content within the touch screen experience. The application required efficient management and optimization of the images to ensure smooth performance on the touch screen hardware. Additionally, ensuring that the touch screen application effectively showcased the building features and available options was another challenge that required careful design and development considerations.
Design and development approach:
To address the challenge of image-heavy content, I employed strategies for efficient image optimization and management. Collaborating closely with the designers, I ensured that the touch screen experience effectively showcased the building features and available options, aligning with the visual and user experience goals.
Key features and functionalities:
The Wordsworth touch screen showcased the following key features and functionalities:
- Interactive floorplans: Allowing potential buyers to explore different floorplans, compare options, and select their preferred layout.
- 360-degree views: Utilizing drone-captured images to provide an immersive and interactive experience of the views from each level of the building.
- Multimedia gallery: Displaying high-quality images of the interior, exterior, neighborhood, and amenities to give potential buyers a comprehensive view of the development.
- Feature list: Highlighting the key features and amenities of Wordsworth to emphasize its unique selling points.
- Intuitive navigation: Providing a user-friendly interface with easy-to-use controls optimized for the touch screen hardware I created.
By utilizing Electron, React, Tailwind CSS, and web technologies, I successfully created an engaging and informative touch screen experience for Polygon Homes' Wordsworth development. The application, packaged as a desktop application, provided a reliable and user-friendly interface for potential buyers to explore the building features and make informed decisions.
