User Experience Research and Design through Academic Accomplishments:

Tactile UI for Vehicles (Capstone Project):

I picked this theme for the final semester project as the idea of using of non-screen options for enhancing User Experience while focusing on the safety and usability aspects of an enjoyable driving experience excited my team and it is also close to my heart. The core principle is to enhance UX by adjusting functionality and accessibility of controls in the context of driving a car. I have implemented this by utilizing physical buttons in place of touch-screen controls wherever necessary, but with the right balance to not crowd either one.

I learnt the method of using Raspberry Pi (OS for embedded electronic controls) as well as integration of electronic components to create a working prototype of the concept. This project has also given me the confidence to be able to acquire and apply knowledge on the go as needed by projects/work.
