Nuro OS is a next-generation car system UI designed to simplify and enhance the in-car experience. The goal was to create an intuitive, visually appealing, and highly functional interface that seamlessly integrates with modern vehicles. The system prioritizes safety, accessibility, and aesthetics, offering drivers and passengers a cohesive experience across navigation, entertainment, climate control, and vehicle settings.
Process
😩 The current in-car UI is cluttered and distracting
Many car systems today suffer from overly complex menus, small touch targets, and distracting interfaces that can compromise driver safety.
🔔 Drivers need quick access to essential features
While driving, users need immediate access to navigation, media, and climate controls without having to navigate through multiple screens.
📱 Lack of consistency across platforms
Many car systems don’t integrate well with smartphones or other devices, creating a fragmented user experience.
The project was divided into three key phases:
Research & Discovery: Understanding user needs, pain points, and market trends. 🔍
Design & Prototyping: Creating wireframes, visual designs, and interactive prototypes.
Testing & Iteration: Conducting usability tests and refining the design based on feedback.
