The project

The objective of this work was to apply User Experience Design principles and processes to design and improve both the physical and the UI interfaces of the driver control monitor inside a New Holland tractor (CNH).

We followed a user-centred approach and the UX Design Cycle, made of 4 iterative steps:

Requirements gathering (requirements list for users)
Design alternatives (concept generation)
Prototyping (low and high fidelity)
Evaluation (user testing)

We then used the user feedback from the evaluation phase and the Nielsen heuristics to further improve the final high-fidelity prototype made in Adobe XD.

The prototype and end results

For the final high-fidelity interactive prototype we used Adobe XD and followed UX and UI design best practices. In particular, we evaluated the interface using the 10 Nielsen heuristics and followed the Google Material Design guidelines and templates. Finally, to maintain consistency across the whole interface, we made a custom design system.

Below are some of the pages of our final prototype.
