Challenge Summary
The goal of this contest is to develop wireframes for an application that provides a user interface for an embedded access control device. The specific device is a panel – a hardware device that controls physical access to a building using badges, badge-readers, controlled doors, and other control equipment.
The goal of this contest is to produce wireframes that accurately capture the application requirments and information flow so the client has a clear understanding of their application and a designer can create UI screens needed to build this application.
