The 911 Command Center is an
emergency-response interface that
helps dispatch critical resources
more efficiently and with fewer errors.
Unlike traditional interfaces, which
present an overwhelming amount
of high-stakes information with equal
weight, Electronic Ink’s design uses
color, animation, and relative sizing to
make critical calls more prominent and
render priorities intelligible at a glance.
Active radio channels, for example, are
animated to attract responders’ attention,
and dormant channels are collapsed
so that irrelevant data and functions
do not distract. This new interface
improves awareness, clarity, and
accuracy in emergency response to
such a great degree that one major
American city has already adopted
it (the company prefers not to reveal
which one), as have various industries,
such as airlines, that depend on
mission-critical environments.
