A guy I went to high school with used to do that for a living. I have no idea what they call it, but it's basically theatrical UI, where the screen has to act and usually deliver a bunch of exposition.


SCADA? Like simplified GUI animations of the actual physical processes going on in a plant instead of just toggle switches, progress bars, etc?

I've always called it "tvOS" or "MovieOS". Like, "oh, a lot of flashing lights on tvos today!"

It would be a fun exercise trying to recreate a lot of the screens from movies and tv shows. "This is unix! I know this!"
