TITLE

Product Designer

PROJECT

Conducted user research and designed the UX and UI of the online encyclopedia for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in cars

MY ROLE

I created journey maps for the user personas and designed the product flow and the interface through an iterative prototyping process. The logo was also designed by me.

TOOL

Figma; Miro; Google Sheets

Project Background

Currently, there is no centralized way to learn about Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The lack of standardized names for ADAS features and too many choices and jargons used to describe ADAS are often overwhelming to ordinary drivers and make its capabilities abstruse.
Our project to build an online encyclopedia for ADAS aims to help drivers visualize what ADAS features currently exist, how they work, and how they compare to features in other cars.

In-depth documentation of the work process will be added soon!

Usability Testing

We conducted a usability testing to gain insight on how users would navigate through our interface to perform their tasks. We prepared two user scenarios (Julia and Lindsay's task flow), shared our Figma prototype on Zoom, and asked participants to say what they would do with for each step via Wizard-of-Oz method. The participants' (N=6) age ranged from 20s to 50s, and the tests were completed over zoom. We were particularly interested in user's feedback on what tasks they most struggle with, what they are confused about, and general thoughts and feelings about their user experience.

Designed solutions to address the usability issues

Final Prototype

Based on the initial user experience research and our findings from the usability testing, we created a final prototype that provides a centralized way for users to compare and learn about ADAS in different cars.

1. Exploring and comparing cars with different autonomous features

2. Displaying a categorized list of autonomous features in a car

3. Learning about the meaning of various autonomous features
