We managed to deliver the solution within a tight deadline providing a seamless user experience. Visitors of hotels, restaurants, and cafes can easily find and turn on their favorite songs by using a top-notch solution that pays tribute to legendary jukeboxes.
Customer
A U.S.-based company that came up with the idea of breathing new life into a legendary jukebox. They connected with entertainment businesses in Texas with a proposal of supplying their jukeboxes with musical software providing a user experience similar to Windows Media Player.
Business Challenge
The customer lacked the technology expertise to implement such a solution. They needed a team skilled in WPF to develop a solution that would run across TV devices installed in kiosks. The client wanted to combine the favorite features of classic jukeboxes with the peculiarities of a plasma screen and provide access to unlimited content available via the Internet.
Why Leobit
Our team showed relevant expertise with the Microsoft tech stack, WPF in particular. We provided specialists skilled in these technologies and showed readiness to build a solution with a strict focus on the client’s requirements. Leobit’s specialists also assured the customer that we would deliver the required result in short terms since the client wanted to deliver the idea to the market as soon as possible.
Project
in detail
The project had to be completed in short terms. Our work on the solution can be roughly divided into three major stages.
Convenient Selection of Songs
Using WPF Leobit’s team enabled the output of the information into two screens, one with the current player and the other with a list of all songs that can be chosen next. The server requests a music aggregator to provide the songs for any taste. This feature enables users to choose from the vast collection of diverse songs to play on a jukebox.
Kiosk Providing an Excellent User Experience
We paid much attention to ensuring the smooth playback of songs and the solution's compatibility with screens of musical kiosks installed in hotels, restaurants, and cafes. The solution provides a convenient user interface resembling the one of Windows Media Player and displays custom visualizations.
The Revival of a Legendary Jukebox
Traditional for hotels, cafes, and restaurants a jukebox is often considered as an old-fashioned and completely outdated device. Meanwhile, by using the power of WPF and other programming technologies, the Leobit team has developed software that retains the classic charm of jukeboxes while giving them a fresh, contemporary upgrade.
