eDEX-UI is a fullscreen, cross-platform terminal emulator and system monitor that looks and feels like a sci-fi computer interface.

Heavily inspired from the[TRON Legacy movie effects](https://web.archive.org/web/20170511000410/http://jtnimoy.com/blogs/projects/14881671) (especially the[Board Room sequence](https://gmunk.com/TRON-Board-Room)), the eDEX-UI project was originally meant to be*"[DEX-UI](https://github.com/seenaburns/dex-ui) with less « art » and more « distributable software »"*. While keeping a futuristic look and feel, it strives to maintain a certain level of functionality and to be usable in real-life scenarios, with the larger goal of bringing science-fiction UXs to the mainstream.

It might or might not be a joke taken too seriously.
