Poster number, title, presenter, and author information support fast discovery.
Designing event technology for real-time operation.
A conference digital environment combining searchable poster browsing, metadata-driven discovery, large-screen presentation, keyboard navigation, staff-facing controls, display testing, and bilingual operational documentation.
Poster display and controls were optimized around an event monitor rather than a normal webpage.
Participant-facing browsing and staff-facing operating controls serve different needs.
Japanese and English manuals support predictable event-day operation and handover.
The Situation
Digital posters had to work as part of the event, not as isolated files.
Participants needed to find posters quickly, view them at useful scale, and move between presentations without unnecessary friction. Staff needed reliable controls and recovery options throughout continuous on-site use.
I worked across the conference website, visual direction, poster information structure, search, navigation, presentation behavior, monitor testing, operating controls, and bilingual documentation required for practical delivery.
The Challenge
The interface had to serve visitors, screens, and staff at the same time.
The technical problem was inseparable from the operating environment. Search, scaling, navigation, recovery, and documentation all affected whether the system could be used confidently during the event.
Fast poster discovery
Participants needed to locate posters by number, title, presenter, or author instead of browsing every item manually.
Large-screen presentation
Poster content needed to remain readable and properly proportioned while preserving screen area and keeping controls unobtrusive.
Event-day reliability
Staff required predictable behavior, reset functions, clear operating controls, and documentation for continuous live use.
Event-Day Flow
From discovery to presentation without leaving the system.
The mock interface below is a generalized portfolio representation of the operating flow. It demonstrates the interaction model without exposing real poster content, presenter data, or production controls.

STAFF MODE
Operation Console
READY
Move directly to a poster number.
Recover the participant-facing start state.
Restore predictable operation after use.
Confirm the current system state.
Selected Mode
01 / Directory
Make the complete poster collection easy to scan.
The directory combines poster thumbnails, numbering, metadata, selection state, and direct presentation access within one browsing environment.
- Visual poster grid
- Poster numbering
- Selected-poster details
- Direct transition to display mode
02 / Search
Reduce the time required to locate a presentation.
Search supports multiple metadata routes so participants can locate content by poster number, title, presenter, or author rather than depending on visual browsing alone.
- Poster number search
- Title search
- Presenter search
- Author search
03 / Presentation
Use the screen for the poster, not for interface chrome.
Presentation mode emphasizes poster scale while keeping previous, next, directory, and pause controls predictable and reachable during event use.
- Large-screen poster scaling
- Previous / next navigation
- Return-to-directory control
- Keyboard-oriented operation
04 / Staff Mode
Give event staff recovery tools without complicating public use.
Staff-facing controls support quick navigation, reset behavior, predictable recovery, and operating guidance while remaining separate from the participant-facing experience.
- Quick poster access
- Reset and recovery behavior
- System-state awareness
- Bilingual operating documentation
My Ownership
Connecting interface design to event operation.
My responsibilities covered both the participant-facing experience and the staff-facing tools required to operate the system reliably.
-
01
Conference Web
Produce the surrounding event experience.
Designed and developed conference information pages, navigation, responsive layouts, and visual elements.
-
02
Information Structure
Organize poster data for browsing and search.
Structured poster numbering, titles, presenter information, author information, and searchable metadata.
-
03
Interaction
Build search, navigation, and presentation controls.
Developed poster search, listing, preview, previous and next navigation, keyboard controls, and directory return paths.
-
04
Display Testing
Design for the actual monitor, not an assumed viewport.
Tested resolution, proportions, poster scale, control visibility, and full-screen presentation on event hardware.
-
05
Operation & Handover
Prepare staff to run the system confidently.
Prepared staff controls, reset behavior, configuration guidance, Japanese and English manuals, and technical README documentation.
Key Decisions
The system was designed around event-day constraints.
A conference display system has different priorities from a conventional website: fast recovery, predictable controls, readable scaling, and low operating ambiguity matter more than decorative interaction.
Discovery
Support both visual browsing and metadata search.
The directory gives users an overview while search provides a direct route when they already know a number, title, presenter, or author.
Presentation
Keep controls predictable and preserve poster area.
Presentation mode minimizes interface competition with the poster while retaining consistent previous, next, pause, and return controls.
Recovery
Treat reset behavior as part of the product.
Staff workflows and documentation were designed so the system could be returned to a known state quickly during continuous event use.
Validation & Delivery
Testing included the physical display and the operating workflow.
The system was checked against the conditions that matter during live use, including display proportions, navigation, full-screen behavior, search, keyboard input, and staff recovery.
- Poster directory and metadata search
- Previous and next navigation
- Keyboard controls and directory return paths
- Desktop and large-monitor scaling
- Full-screen presentation behavior
- Public and staff-facing workflows
- Reset and recovery behavior
- Japanese and English operating manuals
Outcome
A dedicated poster environment prepared for live event use.
The completed platform combines participant discovery, large-screen presentation, and staff operation within one purpose-built conference workflow.
