Designing data-driven ambient interfaces for the future of mobility
The Challenge
How can ambient interfaces and innovative materials shape the experience of autonomous mobility
The Result
Interactive tangible prototypes that allowed the evaluation of interactions and information communication in the set-driving car
Our Expertise
- Ideation
- Interaction Design
- UX & UI Design
The Brief
Approached by Volkswagen's Future Center Europe to investigate the future of self-driving cars, we set out to design new data-driven ambient interfaces for autonomous mobility.
Based on extensive research of feasible, long-lasting, and controllable material combinations, Studio NAND developed a fully functional prototype – creating a playful, emotional, usable and informative experience in the future automobile.
Material studies
Our Approach
Material Studies
We conducted several material studies to find interesting feedback mechanisms that could be incorporated into the self-driving car's material.
Interactive Prototypes
Prototypes' design and functional development allowed us to test and evaluate user interactions and material feedback.
One of several prototypes
Visual Scenarios
Visual animated scenarios communicated the ideas and prototypes in the real-world context.
