Hi,
I'm looking to build an open-source Automated Optical Inspection(AOI) device. This means the source code, hardware, and documentation would be released(non-profit).
You aren't sure what an AOI is? Then take a look at this Hackaday Blog Post on AOI(this was my source of inspiration for the project).
Now, my target user would be hobbyists, technicians, or engineers working independently or for small firms. I would appreciate it if you(the user that is) could take the time to answer my questions. Hopefully, with your answers, I can narrow down the scope of my project. If I'm lucky I can convince my professors to approve this as a valid school project.
Onto the questions:
As you can see, I'm trying to get insight into the user experience and see how important the user-machine interface for this sort of device.
Thank you for your time.
Cheers!
P.S: I made sure that I'm respecting the forum rules. If I'm posting in the wrong subforum, then please re-direct me to the appropriate one.

Onto the questions:
- What did you like or didn't like in the AOI you've worked with?
- What features would you like to see in an AOI?
- What would you expect from an open-source AOI(i.e: features, speed, responsiveness)?
- How important are the GUI and its responsiveness(in the context of an AOI)?
- Would you prefer a desktop app or a web app?

Thank you for your time.
