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

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?
