About MG iSmart Infotainment-stelsel Koppelvlak

MG iSmart is 'n infotainment-stelsel koppelvlak wat ontwerp is vir motors van die MG-handelsmerk. Die koppelvlak ondersteun 'n nuwe markbekendstelling met 'n pasgemaakte oplossing wat gebou is rondom konnektiwiteit, digitale raakpunte en slim assistente. Navorsing- en ideegenereringsessies met die handelsmerkspan en met kliënte in die teikenmarkte het die gebruikersvloei gerig. Drie interaksiekonsepte is as prototipes ontwikkel, en ses visuele rigtings is getoets voordat een finale rigting gekies en in detail ontwikkel is. Voertuie wat met MG iSmart toegerus is, is op die pad in Indië en Thailand.

Production Technology
We began by understanding market trends and competitors. Then we conducted on site ideation to understand the customer journey and quickly prototype core interaction frameworks. Equipped with three interaction concepts we joined forces with SAIC s innovation team to work on the visual design. Together we produced six different design directions tested these internally and selected three finalists. SAIC selected a final design direction and our team developed a detailed visual and motion design.
Inspiration
Everything we do here at Star is human centered. We wanted to create an HMI that was not only functional and beautiful but user friendly and seamless. We dug in and hosted numerous creative and research sessions both with the SAIC team and MG customers in respective markets to learn about their needs what engages them and gather data points that empowered our design process to be user-focused from its inception.
