Project Two B - Development

I have decided to keep the colour scheme that I had developed and also the visual explanation instead of statistical.
Because of this change, I have decided to add a 'Stats' page so that if users can understand the energy consumption by the statistics, they can also view them on a different page.

So there is no confusion about what the visual representation of the energy usage is of each appliance, there is a screen near the beginning of the startup of the interface, I have added a 'Key' to.
I have also added a settings option so the user can enter what four appliances they wish to observe and how bright they want the screen to be.

Project Two B - Development

Some of the main points from the crit on Friday were to add more colour and have visual results rather that textual. I have been playing around with adding some colour and changing the results to have a visual effect. Changing the results to visually, I would want to add another screen into the interface that has just the textual information incase the user wants to know and understands how much power the appliances are using by text.

Project Two B - Development

Changes:
I have added a 'return' button to the start screen of the interface so that in presentation I can go back to the animation if I accidentally press the next button when my group wants to see the animation replayed.

Project Two B - Development

Changes:
I have taken away the 'Back' button because the back button was taking the user to the 'Home' screen, threfore there is no need to have both buttons.
