Challenge
Redesign the traditional car display using augmented reality technology to improve real-time information delivery, by integrating interactive, AR-enhanced visuals directly into the vehicle’s field of view.

The EQS MBUX is Mercedes-Benz's cutting-edge infotainment system, offering an intuitive user interface, advanced voice control, and a seamless integration of navigation, entertainment, and vehicle functions, all tailored to enhance the driving experience.

The Problem

Despite its advanced technological capabilities and numerous design possibilities, it may not be fully optimized for user interaction

My Solution

We redesigned the display to prioritize an intuitive and minimal interface, maximizing automation levels and allowing users to adjust themes easily, thereby enhancing the overall user experience while minimizing distractions.
