At Microsoft, I helped a new design team start envisioning the connected car of the future. Using an Agile-based sprint process, I first identified a working task list, and wrote scenarios based on them for multiple personas. Then, I concepted solutions leveraging “Metro” principles, NUI, and the unique environment of a car’s interior.
Initial scenes from four scenarios written to highlight and target key communication tasks
Some of my “blue sky” concept sketches leveraging sensor and display opportunities
A complete interface model that connected cluster with console, enabling the driver to keep hands on the wheel
This model was prototyped and user tested with positive results.
