Tapp Ecosystem: Innovative Container Interface for Events

Project:

With the aim of enhancing the drink dispensing experience at events, the team embarked on creating a container interface. This interface would serve event visitors via a touchscreen, seamlessly synchronizing dispensing actions with the user experience. The goal was to integrate this interface into the existing Tapp ecosystem, thereby improving the overall event experience.

Challenges:

Throughout the project, various challenges arose. Firstly, the container interface needed to be scalable to accommodate events of varying sizes without sacrificing performance. Additionally, seamless integration with the current infrastructure of the Tapp ecosystem was crucial. Ensuring synchronized dispensing actions with the correct information and providing a smooth user experience posed further challenges. Furthermore, the interface needed to support code scanning and establish a connection with the backend.

Approach:

The development approach involved using Electron and Raspberry Pi technologies to create the container interface. Electron provided a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies, while Raspberry Pi served as the hardware platform for the touchscreen interface. Integration with the backend was an essential part of the approach to ensure real-time synchronization of dispensing actions and order information.

Results:

After rigorous development efforts, the team succeeded in delivering a fully functional container interface. Event visitors could dispense drinks and view real-time order statuses via the touchscreen interface. The interface also supported QR code scanning, enabling seamless interaction with the backend system. Integration with the Tapp ecosystem provided a cohesive experience for both visitors and event organizers, thereby enhancing the overall event experience.

The development of the Tapp container interface proved to be a valuable addition to the Tapp ecosystem, offering a seamless and efficient solution for drink dispensation at events. By focusing on scalability, integration, and user experience, the team successfully addressed the challenges of the project. The container interface not only met the functional requirements but also improved the overall event experience for visitors, demonstrating the effectiveness of the chosen approach.
