Vehicle HMI Design — Perth

Crafting intuitive in-car interfaces and EV dashboards tailored to Australian driving contexts and legislation. End-to-end HMI design from research to production delivery.

Overview

Nextgenautoexpert delivers vehicle HMI design services focused on safety, glanceability and localisation for Australian road rules. We design adaptive clusters, centre-stacks, EV UX flows and driver monitoring interactions for Perth-based OEMs and tier suppliers.

  • Glance-driven layouts optimised for right-hand drive vehicles.
  • Australian compliance and human factors considerations.
  • Rapid prototyping, usability testing, and developer-ready assets.

Services

User research

Contextual interviews, in-car observation, and task analysis focused on Australian drivers.

Interface design

Adaptive clusters, centre-stack UX, night/day modes, and EV charge flows with accessibility in mind.

Validation

Usability testing, glance tests, eye-tracking and regulatory alignment (AUS).

Case study: Compact EV cluster — Perth pilot

We partnered with a local EV integrator to redesign a compact instrument cluster for Australian urban drivers, prioritising reduced glance time and energy feedback clarity.

  1. Discovery & stakeholder workshops in Perth.
  2. Low-fidelity concepts → high-fidelity interactive prototype.
  3. On-road usability and regulatory checks for WA conditions.
