Unleashing Positive User Experiences (PUX) in the Car

There are several methods to design for positive user experiences (PUX). However, when it comes to technology-push innovations, identifying relevant user activities where the application of novel technologies can truly enable PUX is challenging. The workshop-format is based on an innovative method - the "Inspiration Matrix"[2]. The method aims to systematically identify user activities in which the technology has the potential to deliver exceptional PUX. It does so by combining technology functions with specific user activity, allowing applicants to foster their creativity systematically. We invite researchers and practitioners to join us in this interactive workshop, where we apply the Inspiration Matrix to develop PUX potentials of novel interaction technologies for next-generation vehicles, using the ProTable projection technology [3] as an example. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the workshop's goals, schedule, and activities, with a focus on the anticipated outcomes that will drive future advancements in the field.
