INTUITIVE VEHICLE INTERACTION
User interfaces for future-oriented user guidance
Modern user interfaces and interaction designs are revolutionizing the automotive world with intuitive and future-oriented approaches. With a clear focus on user needs, individual solutions are created that meet both current and future requirements. Our methodology is based on close collaboration with our clients. In doing so, we ensure that every UI/UX design is precisely tailored to the specific user needs.
From low-fidelity to high-fidelity prototypes, we cover the entire spectrum of user interface visualization and validation in the automotive sector.
Our holistic development approach ensures that ergonomic and psychological aspects are consistently taken into account at every stage of product development. The results are intuitive products that are effortless to use. User-friendly interfaces and precisely coordinated interaction elements ensure a fluid, pleasant user experience, which is further enriched by advanced graphical and haptic UI designs.
The EDAG Group is looking forward to working with you to implement these exciting projects and set new standards in user interaction.

Our solution with user interfaces
- analysis
We start with a comprehensive needs assessment to identify customer requirements and user needs. In doing so, we take into account ergonomic and psychological aspects of human factors.
- concept
Based on the analysis, we develop tailored UX/UI concepts. We visualize these with the help of prototypes – from lo-fi to hi-fi – and refine them through practical testing.
- system development
We use the latest technologies to design graphical user interfaces and haptic UI developments. The focus is on user-friendliness, innovation and precision. This includes the adaptation and validation of menu structures and the integration of advanced solutions.
- validation
Our systems undergo extensive user testing and continuous feedback loops. We use (test) methods such as eye tracking, variant testing and professional statistical analysis with programs like SPSS, JMP and R.
- system production
After successful validation, we transfer the system to series production. All optimizations are incorporated to ensure the highest quality.
- commissioning
The final system is integrated into the vehicle environment, tested using functional tests and fully supported when it is launched on the market.
