What our past delegates experienced
“The crucial moment to really start with our HMI benchmarking software “screens” came after the Intuitive Vehicles - Human Factors, HMI, UX 2018. My colleagues and I talked about our conversations at the fair and realised the remarkable fact that each one of us was told the same story regarding the way OEMs do HMI benchmarking. Of course we had specifically asked for it in the conversations, because we had discussed the idea for “screens” before, but never really pursued it. From that moment on it was clear: Everyone has to struggle with HMI benchmarking and we have an idea how to solve this. If we hadn’t been able to have so many conversations with different OEMs in such a short time, we would have hesitated forever and probably never started.”
