Woodlea is a new suburb being built in the north west of Melbourne. I was hired as a subcontractor to develop some interactive touch-screen software to help show off Woodlea to potential buyers.
There were two digital screen applications built: one running on a 1080p TV, and another on a 4K TV, both connected to PC hardware running Windows 10 (which has great support for touch). The 4K project features a massive map of Woodlea, which the user can touch and interact with to browse the various amenities that will be built. The 1080p project is similar to a digital brochure in concept – it operates as an interactive, touch-enabled app. Both projects use the same software stack: AngularJS as the main framework, with NW.js used to package it and run it on the desktop.
The design and concept was done by a third-party creative digital company, who I worked with to implement their design in the software. I architected the software and, alongside my team, built the project in quite a short timeframe – as we had to have it ready for Woodlea’s opening day, which we achieved.
