Wall mode — full-bleed wheelhouse display
Wall mode is the full-bleed display designed for a permanent wall-mounted screen on the bridge — maximum legibility at distance, minimal motion, voice-controlled.
Open it at /bridge/wall — no header, no footer, no nav. Just the bridge.
Layout:
• Header strip — vessel selector, UTC clock, OOW on watch, condensed weather
• 3×3 panel grid:
- Map (large, takes 2×2)
- Cam tile (live IP camera feed)
- Alarm panel (active alarms only)
- Engine vitals (compact gauge cluster)
- Route ETA (next port, distance, speed, ETA, weather risk)
• Voice command bar at the bottom (always visible so the master knows it's listening)
Hardware setup:
• 55"+ display panel mounted in the wheelhouse, landscape orientation
• Connect a small PC or Mac mini with a browser pointed at /bridge/wall
• Pin the tab and put the OS into kiosk mode
• Voice control needs a microphone in the same space as the wheelhouse — most modern displays have one built in
What it replaces:
A wall covered in proprietary single-purpose displays — one per system, each with its own UI, none of them voice-controlled. Wall mode rolls the same data into one cohesive view that the master can drive without leaving the con.
Switching focus:
Tap (or say "Wally, focus on engines") any panel to expand it to fill the screen. Tap again to return to the grid. The system keeps the panels you're not focused on streaming so when you switch back the data is current.
