Speaker:

Designing Future Mobility Experiences

The talk demonstrates how digitalization and new customer needs create future touch-point opportunities in mobility. Besides a holistic future mobility service, the project ‘BMW Xplore’ also describes a vision for how UX and UI design can drive new interior hardware requirements. In addition to the concept itself, the talk will take you through the design process. You will learn how to research and prototype innovative mobility experiences and how on-board and off-board touchpoints can be designed in a seamless way.
