THE COR (LAT.: HEART, SOUL) IS THE NEW CENTERPIECE OF THE VEHICLE.

cor – concept development, interaction design

With the COR especially sharing-user get the opportunity to connect to their vehicle in a new way. The COR helps to strengthen the connection between human and machine by making it more personal, familiar and emotional. The COR is an adaptable learning system which is matched to the user by saving his_her personal preferences. The preferences would include settings about the seat position, light, temperature and music. In comparison to the human nerve system both COR and dashboard react to the transfer of data with different light patterns. Every users data is stored stationary - without network connection - at home to provide data security. Due to that, a regeneration of the COR can be done without problems if the COR gets lost. In the future there will be the potential that the COR and its Dashboard will enter to peoples driving behavior and their emotion. This active and autonomous communication would increase the feeling of safety while driving.

process

This project was a cooperation project with the AUDI AG. Our class went to Ingolstadt to meet with AUDI designers. In a workshop we developed first prototypes from found out everyday problems one has while traveling. We worked in teams of 4 (Paul Oehmichen, Qiaochu Liu, Johanna Seifert). My role was mostly the story development and interaction element of the actual cor. For that I used the ARDUINO software to program interactions to the cor.
