Story

I wanted to build a cool living room console, I'm also a big fan of the Star Trek LCARS interface that inspired the design.

The wall mount cover for the RPI3 and touchscreen is 3d printed. Absolutely all credits for this go to DasBasti's CAD design from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1230150 - I only slightly modified the design and added holes for the screws on the bar.
