STREAM A | Solution Study: Breaking the Cycle — Shifting from Reactive Firefighting to Proactive Validation, Powered by Virtual Environments

Infotainment is no longer just about user experience — it’s becoming a leading root cause of vehicle recalls, lawsuits, and brand damage. This talk reveals why traditional testing keeps greenlighting real-world failures, why task forces keep getting formed too late, and how software complexity keeps outpacing validation. We’ll expose the systemic gaps in current QARead more

3 | Seamless Integration Café: How Can Advanced HMI and Display Technologies Redefine User Experience and Enable Seamless Integration in Modern Automotive Cockpits?

What are the technical challenges in integrating the main controller with subsystems like infotainment, climate control, and ADAS? How to ensure that HMI designs meet the needs of diverse user groups while minimizing cognitive load?  How to achieve seamless synchronization between the driver and passenger displays for shared experiences? What are the best technologies inRead more

Solution Study: Evolving the Focus Point of In-Car UX

 With large console displays and touchscreens now recognised as causing increased driver distraction, frustration, and regulatory scrutiny, there is a growing shift—driven by both consumer demand and new safety standards— to better blend information display with more familiar and intuitive control systems. On top of a move to adapt more tactile controls, multi-function steering wheels,Read more

STREAM A | Case Study: Applying SEEX for Better Car UX

Understanding how user experiences take place is the first step to designing for better user experiences. With cars, for example, it isn’t just about driving from A to B. It’s about a unique relationship between the user(s), the product, and a dynamic context of use. It is also about how the car fits in theRead more
