Währenddessen waren wir vor Ort in Dresden und haben uns dort mit den lokalen Organisatoren abgestimmt. Euch erwartet dieses Jahr eine beeindruckende Kulisse im Congress Center Dresden. Auch unsere Keynote für dieses Jahr hat zugesagt. Wir freuen uns auf Joseph Giacomin, dem Director des Human Centred Design Institute (HCDI) der Brunel University London. Er wird über Design Challenges bei Automotive UX sprechen und wie diese angegangen werden können.

Prof. Joseph A. Giacomin
"AutoHabLab: Addressing Design Challenges in Automotive UX"

Like most human habitats the automobile is characterised by multiple perceptions, emotions and social interactions. Drivers and passengers "live" and "socially interact" in their vehicles and thanks to mobile telephony, big-data and autonomous systems they increasingly interact in a complex way with machines and with other people across both space and time. Given the sophistication of the context, it would be simplistic to continue to consider the motor vehicle as an environment characterised mostly by the performance of a driving task. 

The talk approaches automotive UX from a human centred design perspective. The limitations of human long term memory, and thus of traditional design ethnography based on techniques such as interviews, focus groups and workshops is discussed. The effects of real-time context on human emotion and on the responses of the human subconscious are introduced. The talk explains the need for real-time, within-context, design workshops and provides examples based on the use of the AutoHabLab platform which has been developed in collaboration with JaguarLandRover. The examples focus on how the real-time monitoring of the human emotions directly identifies specific UX issues, and how the creative real-time interaction between the people in the car and the designers can lead to new design metaphors.
