Project

MESOs Experience Management System for Stadthalle Karlsruhe provides a unified dashboard to control lighting, signage, and media displays across three floors. It allows staff and event tenants to adjust color, content, and mood settings quickly, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring a cohesive, adaptable environment for diverse events.

My role in the project

When i joined the project, several aspects were already in place. My work consisted in integrating these with a new UI, better UX and new challenges. Here are my main contributions to the project:

Frontend Design

I contributed to the design for the media displays that visitors will see for event information. My work contributed to a clear, organized and flexible layout. Tests with the real displays for readability and content flexibility were also conducted.

Backend Design

I was consulted for the backend design of the Experience manage System. I worked with project managers and developers to streamline the user experience, resulting in a clear logical userflow.

Graphic Design

Some graphical assets were needed like the digital representation for the CMS of lights, media screens and so on in their real world location. I designed them based in architectural plans to make them easy to use in a small area, no mather their real life sized. Other assets include the grid system use for the media screens that can be animated upon customer request.
