The final phase of the high-fidelity model focused on implementing two key features: dark mode and a responsive, minimal version of the software for a physical display placed next to the transformer, showing real-time status updates.
Based on user research, I identified that dark mode would be particularly useful in low-light environments, such as when users perform maintenance near the transformer or during nighttime operations. To optimize readability and reduce eye strain, I referenced peer-reviewed research on contrast ratios, ensuring that the interface maintained just the right balance—providing clear visibility without causing visual fatigue.
Here, you can see the responsive, minimal interface designed specifically for the 7-inch physical display placed next to the transformer. This version prioritizes clarity, real-time monitoring, and ease of interaction for field technicians.
The Key design considerations were:
Optimized Readability – Large, high-contrast typography for quick data recognition in outdoor and low-light conditions.
Critical Data Emphasis – Only essential transformer status indicators are displayed to avoid cognitive overload.
Touch-Friendly UI – Simplified interface elements for easy interaction on a compact screen.
Dark Mode Integration – Adjusted contrast levels based on research to reduce eye strain while maintaining visibility in dim environments.
