Objective
The aim was to create 9 web applications, each focused on delivering different types of content such as videos, slideshows, and textual information. These apps needed to be compatible with touchscreens of various sizes—24, 27, 32, and 43 inches—and offer language options in Croatian and English.
Challenge
The project posed several unique challenges that needed to be addressed seamlessly. Ensuring the applications ran effectively on multiple touchscreen sizes without internet access was a key technical constraint. Additionally, each app had to autostart with the computer and feature exit restrictions to secure the user environment. On top of these operational necessities, providing content in both Croatian and English was essential to cater to a diverse audience.
Our Approach
1
Preliminary Analysis
Before diving into development, we engaged in thorough analysis of project requirements, hardware specifications, and design elements, raising any clarifying questions to ensure full alignment.
2
Project Setup
We laid the groundwork for creating 9 distinct applications from a unified codebase. Content files and a shared repository for all reusable blocks and components were established at this stage.
3
Design Slicing and Optimization
The sliced design assets were optimized for specific screen resolutions, with the addition of touch actions to enhance interactivity.
4
Specialized Coding
At this phase, we developed the code necessary for the apps' specialized features, such as autostart, exit restrictions, and other operational necessities, ensuring a secure and user-focused environment.
5
User Experience Enhancement
With the user in mind, the apps were designed to offer intuitive interfaces, easy navigation, and valuable content to provide both utility and engagement.
6
Iterative Testing
Through multiple rounds of testing, we ensured that the apps functioned flawlessly across varying touchscreen sizes and languages, adhering to all specified requirements.
7
Launch
The project culminated in the deployment of all 9 applications on the museum's hardware, confirming their optimal functionality from autostart features to exit restrictions.
Outcome
The project culminated in a suite of 9 interactive web applications that effectively engage and educate visitors at the Pitve Wine Museum. Each app is optimized for various touchscreen dimensions, includes autostart features, exit restrictions, and is accessible in both Croatian and English. The successful implementation of these applications has raised the bar for interactive experiences in cultural heritage institutions.
