This project, created way back in 2014, is the software running on some touchscreens located on the ground floor of the T-building of Windesheim University of Applied Sciences.
It was created as a school project with the aim of providing guests in the building a pleasant, welcome experience. The screens (and this software) has since not been updated, so a lot of systems no longer work (like the "Vertrektijden" screen, as NS has discontinued the API version we're using).
- Friendly homescreen with idle logic (return to home screen, say hi every now and then)
- Touch-friendly UI allowing the user to pick 'apps'
- Virtual assistant (very basic), using Google TTS to relay audio messages
- Recordings are cached; so it works on existing screens, but the Google API has been locked down.
- RSS feed display
- Weather forecast (๐ง broken)
- Train departure information (๐ง broken)
- Twitter feed (๐ง broken)
- Map of the building, with instructions (out of date, but functional)
- Extensive documentation
The project depends on some NuGet packages, but most importantly it requires Microsoft .NET Framework v4.8. The original project was developed on v4.5, but I've bumped it up on December 4th, 2022.
- Clone the repository
- Launch the repository in Visual Studio
- Build the application
The software is proprietary, it's been created as a student endeavour, and Windesheim is free to hand off this software to it's students for extension or to replace it.
