| Dashboard for Controls |
| |
The basic premise of the Dashboard for Controls is that operation of a professionally installed AV presentation system should be as easy to operate as driving a car. Standardization on some basics of user interface design and identification of fundamental AV system functions will increase confidence that frequently used functions will "look and feel" like others previously used.
These publications published by InfoComm are designed to guide the creation of pro-AV touchpanel controls to promote intuitive end user operation of professionally installed AV systems.
- Dashboard for Controls Design Guide: A Guide for the Creation of Touch Panel Control Interfaces
- Dashboard for Controls Design Reference: A Companion to the Design Guide
