Interface mock-up for Wallstream

In the past few hours we made some steady progress on the interface design.

Two screens are currently finished and right now prepared for integration with Wallstream. A load screen which will be displayed when a user logs in using his RFID enabled pass or when a Wallstream is booted. The Wallstream lay-out for the display is how a Wallstream looks when displayed on a large screen or computer / laptop.

Lay-out for displaying a Wallstream

The left side of the lay-out displays news from feeds that automatically will be aggegrated. The middle section is reserved for displaying content and automatically changes it’s lay-out to the content that will be displayed. On the left side there is space for widgets. Currently we’re developing a Flickr photo widget, agenda widget and a weather widget.

Progress

Right now we’re working on several enhancements for Wallstream. The call-in functionality is functioning, which means a user can login to a public screen by calling to the specific telephone number for that Wallstream. This comes in handy when a user doesn’t own or lost his RFID pass.

The following services are integrated: Twitter (with automatically loading Mobypictures and Twitpics), Flickr, and RSS feeds. The RSS feeds will be used to extract information from other external services in a simple way.

Please feel free to post questions, suggestions and other feedback to our Getsatisfaction page! We expect to launch a first version of Wallstream today.
