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