Özet
The
increasingly layered nature of processes conducted on digital platforms has
increased the need for interfaces that allow users to manage this complexity.
The efficiency of time spent in front of a computer is directly related to how
quickly application shortcuts, macro definitions, and software switching can be
managed. To address this need, the NexDeck control device was designed,
following Human-Machine Interface (HMI) principles, to be both simple and
highly customizable for the user. The device's core philosophy is to offer an
economical alternative to its high-priced industrial counterparts without
compromising performance. NexDeck's hardware architecture is shaped by an
ergonomic approach that combines physical and digital control elements. This
includes a touchscreen control display, durable physical keypads, and precise
volume control wheels. This multi-component hardware structure is designed to
appeal not only to advanced technical users but also to individuals unfamiliar
with complex systems. The NexStudio platform, which serves as the system's
software component, allows users to manage all these hardware features through
an intuitive interface at no additional cost. Beyond being static software,
NexStudio has a flexible structure that can evolve according to the user's work
habits. The scenarios created within the platform cater to a wide range of
users, from gamers and live streamers to software developers and technical
personnel working in industrial settings. For example, a programmer or a
streamer can assign a compilation command or a scene transition to a single physical
key, minimizing processing time. This optimizes workflow by allowing routine
operations to be managed quickly from a single center instead of manually
tracking them. During the prototype phase, NexDeck and NexStudio demonstrated
full compatibility, and all defined functions were successfully tested. The
project's future vision is for the system to expand beyond being a computer
peripheral, integrating with smart home systems via wireless protocols such as
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Furthermore, with the transition to a function library
model, a modular ecosystem is planned that allows users to share their custom
command sets with the community. This development process aims to transform
NexDeck from a static control device into a dynamic digital management
assistant.
