The theme is holistic cabin approach, for the main goal of UX (user experience) is to create and improve driving and mobility experiences.
It means technology and design are user-centric. It covers design, HMI (human-machine interaction/interface), perceived quality, comfort, infotainment, audio, health and wellness, and everything that contributes to the best driving experience.
Global megatrends are shaping the future of the automotive interior: display, smart surfaces, voice activation, connectivity, automation, EVs, regulations, and more. These are pushing and pulling technical and technological progress, transforming the cabin into a smart, interactive space.
The workshop will include sessions on seating · smart surfaces, cockpits, displays · driver and cabin monitoring · interior lighting · electronics. A design roundtable will gather and discuss a variety of perspectives.
