Car of the Future

This project explored innovative ways of lessening the cognitive and physical complexity of a passenger vehicle's dashboard. One technique we explored was to literally place the physical buttons and displays for four separate sub-systems (air-conditioning, entertainment, etc.) each on the single face a cube. A button press or voice-activation would rotate the desired face of the cube into position.

In addition to developing the concept, I build a 3D model of the control panel in Infiniti-3D and made it interactive using Macromedia Director.
