Development of graphic user interface for Kinectric's ADEPT application
Development of graphical user interface for Kinectrics’ ADEPT application
Enhancing a virtual reality platform used to support radiation monitoring and planning activities in nuclear power environments
About Kinectrics
Kinectrics provides testing, inspection, engineering, and technology solutions to the electricity sector. The company developed the Advanced Dose Exposure Tool (ADEPT), a virtual reality application used to support outage activity planning and radiation monitoring.
The challenge
ADEPT provides advanced visualization and simulation capabilities, but users require intuitive tools to efficiently access project data, navigate the application, and perform critical planning tasks. The project focused on improving usability and streamlining the user experience within the platform.
Approach
- Collaborated with Conestoga’s SMART Centre to enhance the ADEPT application
- Designed and developed a graphical user interface for the platform
- Improved access to project files, data, and application settings
- Created user-friendly navigation and menu systems
- Developed in-application guidance and tutorial features to support users
Results
- Delivered an enhanced graphical user interface for the ADEPT platform
- Improved navigation and accessibility of key application functions
- Streamlined workflows for opening, importing, and managing project data
- Added user support features, including tutorials and guided navigation
- Improved the overall user experience within the virtual reality environment
Why it matters
- Makes advanced virtual reality tools more accessible and efficient to use
- Supports informed decision-making during planning and monitoring activities
- Improves usability for technical and operational personnel
- Demonstrates the value of human-centred design in industrial software applications
- Strengthens innovation in virtual reality technologies for complex environments
