The Big Idea

This project reimagines the interior UI of a Volkswagen vehicle, focusing on screen-based interactions and voice UI.

Ah Ha Moment

Individual Expression has always been Volkswagen’s through-line in its long history. The concept for this project is to therefore maintain a sense of quirkiness and fun in the User Interface design.
Research Process

Personality has always been Volkswagen’s through-line in its long history. It has never held itself too seriously, has always embraced individual expression, and continues to spread happiness in a growing global community.From representing 1960s counter culture with the first Beetle and promoting peace and unity with the Type 1 & 2 Vans, to introducing affordable performance in the 1980s with the Mk1 GTI, Volkswagen speaks for those who think different.

Overall Ethos:

Volkswagen serves to provide a fun and personalized experience in everyday transportation accessible to everyone.
