Title
A durable in-car interface design for future Lightyear models:
a user-centered approach in avoiding obsolescence of the in-car experience

Problem
“The user experience of the in-car interfaces becomes obsolete at a much faster pace over time compared to the actual lifespan of the car itself.

Software used

︎︎︎ Figma, ProCreate, Solidworks, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Keynote

Challenge

The main challenge was to create a durable in-car interface by doing research, user tests, and apply design principles within in-car interfaces to manage obsolescence of the user experience.

Process
The user evaluation sessions and user tests provide insights in use and to validate interaction design principles. Three principles have been tested in order to establish clear guidelines for the final design proposal.

Objective

The objective of the user tests was to gain knowledge about to what extent these principles facilitate the user’s behaviour, needs, wants, expectations, and preferences. And subsequently optimise the interface desings to improve the overall user experience.
