Rockwell-Collins Venue Cabin Controls
Device Software · 2006-2007
Rockwell-Collins partnered with Teague to create a system of cabin controls for private and charter planes.
This included all environmental control panels, touchscreen displays, and wireless controllers for passengers and flight attendants.
Existing switchpanel controls on the market consisted of hardware button layouts that required expensive custom programming and were not easily upgradable.
The team at Teague designed a system that could be installed in any airplane, with software menus for advanced or custom features, such as entertainment, and programmable hardware keys for access to important features.
The design objective was to create a visually rich, easy to use, and compelling experience to position Rockwell-Collins as a premium brand for cabin control systems.
The design of the Venue system has won a Red Dot Design Award and a Northwest IDSA Design Invitational Award.
