SEATS LAYOUT x SCREENS

 

 

Designing an automotive in-car experience is rather different from other types of digital products.
Our solution required an interface that would be attuned to immensely diverse needs of users and solve potential problems seamlessly.
Layout separated into 5 parts – main focus area (50% of full screen) and four secondary screens (12,5% of the full screen).
Users can shift content between the areas to put more focus on a specific feature.
For feedback of voice interaction there is a visual appearance of an AI-based voice assistant in the center of the screen.
Hardware-wise this is just a normal touch screen. To minimize influence of the shaking effect which you can experience
by using your mobile device in public transport, traffic, or on low-quality roads, it has a touch bar screen on the top right corner side
to emulate the scroll wheel controller as old good Blackberry devices had before and back butto

ASSISTANT

 

 

One of the one important aspects of in-car experience is the advanced artificial intelligence.
System is capable of learning the preferences of the user—climate control, music preferences, etc. and give suggestion
such as optimal route or daily schedule planning by managing your calendar and setting reminders.
Onboard system is also syncing with user’s personal mobile device and user still in control of amount of data to share with AI.
We paid a lot attention for conversational design, so user can access all functionality by voice or text.
