Abstract
A resource tracking system for monitoring the status of multiple resources, displaying the status of those resources, and mirroring the status information to multiple displays for remote users. The resource tracking system comprises a resource tracking board and a server. The board comprises a re-writable surface with a plurality of arrayed buttons and lights, and a network interface operably coupled to the buttons and lights. The lights emit at least three colors—green when the associated resource is available, yellow when the resource is reserved, and red when the resource is in use. The server is configured to generate interactive displays enabling remote users to observe and reserve available resources. The interactive displays feature a representation of at least one of the buttons and lights on the board. The server causes any status change of a resource on the board to be reflected on the interactive displays, and vice-versa.
