The team explained that the LEDs are able to operate in sync with the application by using web sockets. When the Red Alert system is activated, the LEDs flash and the alarm sounds will a pulsing effect. The duo managed to hook up the interface to real LEDs so that pressing the Red Alert button will cause them to react. While anyone can interact with the custom LCARS interface on Rob’s website, he and James found a way to host it on a Raspberry Pi. Users can find images from the real-life James Web Space Telescope (JWST) and interact with an alarming Red Alert system-just in case you come across some nefarious individuals while perusing imaginary space. It includes a cross-section, known as a Master System Display (MSD) of the USS Cerritos ship found on the animated series Star Trek Lower Decks. In the real world, Rob, who created the System 47 screensaver, shared some of the features but you’ll have to check it out yourself to dig into the meat of the project. This custom LCARS UI project is packed full of features for the modern Star Trek fan and can even interact with real-world technology. This interface can be seen on screens throughout the series and is loved by fans for its unique design. The user interface design was created by Michael Okuda a a means to convey a complex computer interfaces, using backlit plastic panels. LCARS is an acronym from the Star Trek universe that stands for Library Computer Access/Retrieval System.
