Abstract
In the digital manufacturing era of the automotive industry, high-level intelligent cabins are leading the shift towards software-defined cabins, driven by rapid advancements in in-cabin hardware. For the product development process of the future intelligent cabin, there is a lack of a humanized cabin design framework to help designers clarify user motivation and interaction process for design and development. This paper introduces an intelligent cabin narrative design framework and a tool named Spatio-Temporal Canvas , which provides guiding ideas for the design of Intelligent Cabins. The framework and the Spatio-Temporal Canvas are applied to a case study, providing a detailed illustration of the narrative process within intelligent cabin scenes. The paper concludes by discussing the current outcomes for this research, case study shows that intelligent cabin narrative design framework and the Spatio-Temporal Canvas can help designers gain insights into user behavior for interaction design activities.
