Raspberry Pi Takes Star Trek UI To Red Alert
Not everyone has the luxury of making their way onto a Starfleet-operated starship but if you’re craving the experience, you’ll have to settle for the next best thing. Today we’re sharing an incredible LCARS interface project put together by Rob, also known as meWho_System47 over at Twitter, who worked with James Mitchell to make it run on our favorite SBC, the Raspberry Pi.
LCARS is an acronym from the Star Trek universe that stands for Library Computer Access/Retrieval System. The user interface design was created by Michael Okuda a a means to convey a complex computer interfaces, using backlit plastic panels. This interface can be seen on screens throughout the series and is loved by fans for its unique design. This custom LCARS UI project is packed full of features for the modern Star Trek fan and can even interact with real-world technology.
