Project setup

As one of the 4 designers, a bunch of developers, few product managers and strategists from The Techno Creatives, we helped to translate Faurecia’s business goals into experience blueprints and have further helped to design a complex, open-ended, in-car ecosystem (centre stack display, cluster display, rear seat displays) that allows visitors to experience a connected experience in roughly five minutes.

Involvement

My responsibility was to design create a seamless visitor experience in which the whole ecosystem was connected. Heavy on wireframing, responsiveness and UI detailing to ensure the implementation was according to design intent.

Together with Faurecia’s design team, we explored, defined and built all in-car interactions; personal control panels, a multi-view centre stack display, e-mirrors, cluster display, rear seat entertainment and gaming opporunities through a smartphone etc.

The only way to achieve a good feeling of the overall experience is to prototype endlessly.

Prototyping can be done in various ways, whether it is to prototype UX flows in Figma or create high-fidelity prototypes with mock-data in Unity, we continuously push our own and other stakeholder’s boundaries to achieve something that was previously thought impossible.

A reliable, demo-oriented, connected HMI for thousands of visitors

In collaboration with a third party, we made sure that all possible physical changes in the car were shown through the user interface. This connected hardware allowed for new opportunities regarding cockpit experiences, i.e. adaptive sound and ambient lighting, accessible relaxation modes, onboard cameras that adjust headrests, seating or displays and much more.
