Feeling confused?

Feel free to ask questions during the presentation.

Me, livi and the thesis

what have i done?

infotainment system?

What are the crucial aspects when designing and developing an affordable in-vehicle infotainment system for light vehicles that not only provides extended functionality, but also improves safety?

How to make an impact?

Current solutions are expensive and desirable

Target the right market and make it accessible

Low cost

KEEP DESIRABILITY

Process

Research through design

Grounding, Ideation, Iteration, Reflection

Correct thing != Commercially successful thing

Heuristics

Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design

Cognitive Walkthrough

Process

Visibility of system status

Error prevention

Flexibility and efficiency of use

recognize, diagnose and recover from errors

user control and freedom

match between system and the real world

consistency and standards

recognition rather than recall

aestethics and minimalist design

help and documentation

Process

1. ... try to achieve the right effect?

2. ... notice that the correct action is available?

3. ... associate the correct action with the effect that the user is trying to achieve?

4. ... see progress towards solution if the correct action is taken?
