Abstract

This paper explores conceptual design methods in the vehicle HMI design process. By adopting theory framework construction and case studies, we propose a mood board as the tool to integrate “software” and “hardware” in-vehicle HMI interaction design. The effectiveness and feasibility of this tool are supported by the industrial design undergraduate course, which is the transportation concept design. We were using the proposed mood board tool as an innovative approach assisting electric vehicle HMI design. Students of industrial design and interaction design got involved in the design process. We received positive feedback as to the effectiveness of the method with a satisfactory outcome overall.
