(Someone else) Built an LCARS based doorbell!

Just rings for now, going to expand functionality later to handle authentication for unlocking the door and maybe other things lol
From reading the comments, this is something related to star trek, but for people who've never watched the show, what is it?
LCARS is the name for the fictional user interface from the next generation era of star trek shows. There were 3 shows set during this era with 7 seasons each airing from the late 80s to the early 2000s. So there's a lot of star trek content featuring this design aesthetic which makes it popular among fans.
Memory Alpha has a pretty good article explaining the Library Computer Access and Retrieval System (LCARS).
This is really cool! Thank you for sharing.
“I’m thinking about my doorbell, when are you gonna ring it, when are you gonna ring it?”
Touch screen in the doorbell... What's next? A doorbell that requires a mobile app to use?
Does anyone know of a place where one could find a “big” selection of LCARS designes?
