Computer Museum System
This is basically a prototype for my assignment in Software Engineering Practice unit. My team mates and I are required to produce a complete documentation of the software engineering and with a prototype. Before going into detail of this prototype, I would like to thank my team mates Ching Wei, Shou Miew and Hui Ling for doing an excellent job on the documentation part, and Huay Meng for developing the prototype with me. The prototype structure is largely inspired by the actual Computer History Museum.
The prototype was developed using Microsoft Visual C#. You may download the Museum System prototype file. Please remember to read through the Readme file inside the zip folder. You will have to extract the files into C:\ in order for the media files to work properly. Besides that, you will need to have .NET Framework 2.0 in order to run the application.
Museum System splash screen
Basically this system would be used as a information kiosk in a computer museum, at the same time serve as a back end system for the staff, for data entry. For visitors, they are able to browse through the items available in the museum, getting the museum floor map and as well as some information on the computer museum itself.
UI for staff. With more options to choose.
Modules for displaying museum history, sales ticketing and staff maintenance are pretty much simple, which only involves largely on reading input and getting information from the database. I will not go details on these modules.
Help Section
The fun part of this prototype would be actually the Item Maintenance and Seach Item modules. In the prototype, we have included images and sound files with the item descriptions in the Seach Item module. Plus, we have also included a floor map below to indicate the location of the item. As for seaching the item. there is a search box on the top left corner, where the results will show at the list box below it as the user types. For better understanding, click on the image below.
Item Maintenance and Seach Item screenshots
As for Item Maintenance, we can basically add items into the database, and by the browse buttons, we can actually add in images and sound files. Moreover, to improve user friendliness, instead of entering the X and Y coordinate of the item placement on the map manually, you can click on the map to select the location. And instantly, a yellow box will appear on the location you haved clicked, indicating that as the item location.
If you wish to try out, you can download the prototype. Remember to read the Readme file.
