Designing User Experience for autonomous vehicles
Target: WORKERS OF THE FUTURE
Concept
Movel is a B2B autonomous car service that improves onboard mental condition to influence worker productivity while travelling to/from the office.
How Might We exploit the journey to work to improve the mental condition of employees?
An adaptive system to recreate the perfect car environment to relieve the mind during your daily journey to work.
Ideation
After defining our HMW, we started to deep into the scenario selected, the shared car. To articulate this scenario, we asked ourselves the basic reasons why the car is usually used, keeping attention on the sharing scenario.
We made a benchmark, on real and concept-sharing cars, to extrapolate some key points and give us some inspiration.
Scenario
We decided to work in a scenario from now to 15 years, imagining a world more and more connected and dynamic. According to research, the car of the future is a car in which the passenger is dedicated to other activities that can be: work, free time, relaxation, or personal growth.
Experience
The experience starts when you get in the car, inside there are four modules representing four available spaces, each of which is divided by panels that can be repositioned if necessary to facilitate dialogue between colleagues.
Interaction
The responsive environment inside the vehicle through cameras and other indicators can read the emotions felt by the user by varying the lighting and emitting sounds, improving the mental condition of the passenger.
Service
MVP
AI SYSTEM
We developed an online system, free on Github, that replicates the functionality of our prototype, recognizing emotions and changing light and music on the browser.
Testing
We showed a final video to explain the experience to the user. At the end we printed a card to the user, summarising the user’s emotions perceived during the experience.
After feedback, we improved the experience by adding a voice assistant, which supports the understanding of changes in the environment.
