The Subtle Art of Designing Physical Controls for Cars
TLDR:
Explored intuitive car climate control design using a rotary dial with haptic feedback, emphasizing simplicity and minimal driver interaction. Conducted experiments to refine haptic properties, established design guidelines for rotary interfaces, and proposed a dual-function dial system that enhances user experience while maintaining usability. Advocated for a return to physical controls in cars to improve ergonomics over touch screens.
