Preface The end of the students’ academic tenure at the National Institute of Design is marked by the culmination of a substantial investigation in the field of design on a topic closely allied to their discipline of study. It is through the Degree project and subsequent documentation on the same that this investigation takes place. The Graduation Project is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their expertise as independent practitioners of design. This project is done with an academic rigor incorporating systematic inquiry and informed design decisions. The phrase ‘systematic inquiry’ implies the presence of a structure and method by which the student must carry out his/her project. It exposes a student to real life professional situation, where he/she has to work within an organization, within the constraints and limitations provided to them. They are supposed to understand the company’s goals, objectives and design principles and provide a practical innovative solution within the given constraints, time and economic viability. The project is expected to be of four to six months in duration.

Prabhav Jain, Graduation Project 2015

A student undertaking the graduation project with an organization gains real life experience and understands his/her role as a designer, which goes beyond design and also encompasses time management, people skills, communication skills and effective handling of project and pitching one’s design ideas to conserved people within an organization. The Graduation Project reflects the thought leadership manifested through creativity and innovation. The project leads to new knowledge creation and aligns with a broader objective of the institute. The graduation project reflects the student’s ability to: • Apply his/her learning to current practices in the process of creating new forms of products, processes, services, and systems. • Analyze and refine his/her ideas in an iterative manner on the basis of critique. • Evaluate/reflect upon the creative processes he/she has followed.

While the last point above represents a higher order of inquiry usually expected in research, its significance in design cannot be understated if the designer is also to be viewed as a ‘reflective practitioner’. The Degree project reflects the students’ competence to excel in their chosen profession. This project orients the students to the needs and demands of the industry; it also helps students to make an informed decision about which career path they would like to follow upon graduation and helps them understand their strengths and weakness before entering the design industry. This Graduation Project was sponsored by Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Ltd, in their User Experience Design Studio based in the city of Bangalore, India. The Degree Project and the Internship extended for a period of 6.5 Months from March, 2014 to October 2014. Post the internship two months were spent on documentation of the project

The Foundation Programme includes courses such as Colour, Form, Geometry, Design Concepts and Concerns, Environmental Perception, and many more inputs including field trips. After the Foundation Programme students join different disciplines based on their choice, aptitude, and Grade Point Average. The Product Design involves an understanding of materials, processes, ergonomics, human behaviour and systems. Both conceptual thinking, and workshop and computer skills are essential for the product designer. Students work in a variety of individual and group projects, ranging from the very basic to the technically complex. Today product designers need to be increasingly aware of technological advancements, and the social and ecological impact of their work. A wide range of inputs including History of Design, Systems Thinking and Form Exercises are essential in the product designer’s education.

Introduction to the Project The Project came to Bosch User experience studio internally within the company from the GS team. The team wanted user-centered development effort in the area of 2 wheelers, especially in emerging market of India. The goal of the project was to understand the users and delve in understanding the intrinsic and extrinsic value that 2 wheelers hold. The 2 wheeler market in India is different from other countries as the society perceives and adopts 2 wheelers differently. The 2 Wheeler Commuter segment especially in India is big in volume and is increasing rapidly. As the demand is increasing so is the demand for better technology. In order to cater to this demand And to take advantage of the increasing needs, it was essential to understand the users and provide solutions which would create an outstanding user experience and work as a game changer in this market.

The UX team achieved this goal by conducting extensive research where the field work consisted of meeting and interviewing end users and finally connecting the dots in the entire ecosystem by analyzing user behavior, value chain, hidden needs etc. The study was conducted by applying largely qualitative methodologies. The user research was conducted throughout India. The study resulted in providing key areas of improvement, innovation and insights that can be developed further to provide viable solutions. Multiple design concepts and solutions were explored and developed in form of sketches/wireframes and low fidelity mockups depending upon the outcome. The project was largely research driven and consolidated research along with design directions were presented to the client. Out of the multiple solutions/concepts that were presented to the client, one of them was developed by me for my academic requirements.

Key Objective of the project was to : Explore and understand the latent needs of the 2wheeler riders to innovate deploy advanced technologies and value added services with a rich user experience, which helps Bosch to elevate its market position.

Preface to Research Research was done in accordance to the Design process’s PHASE 1 (Research) protocols, as given on the previous page. Stage 0 Planning a standard research protocol Selecting user groups Preparing interview sheets and research tools Phase 1 Primary Research: The study was mainly focused on primary research and gathering firsthand information in the field. The study Used ethnographic research methodologies: taking interviews, observing Users and their 2 wheeler usage patterns, visiting their houses, understanding their needs, wants, desires and aspirations Analyzing insights and findings gathered and collected from the first hand interactions In order to understand the entire ecosystem surrounding the 2 wheeler the whole lifecycle for a 2 wheeler was mapped with emphasis on the prime user (Rider) and secondary users around 2 wheelers like dealers, Service center guys etc. (Appendix- Ref.3.) So the research looks in totality at the whole lifecycle surrounding a vehicle like : 1. Deciding to buy a 2 wheeler 2. Visiting a dealer/showroom and purchasing it 3. Using the 2 wheeler 4. Getting the two wheeler serviced Detailed interview were taken in order to come up inferences surrounding the user- vehicles journey. Secondary research: Minimal secondary research was done to support the primary research by collecting information, market data and reports that were available on the internet. Predominantly the research was qualitative and not quantitative

Market Study The market at present does not have any product, which is similar to the product that has been designed (Fahrer). But a lot of products like Tyre health monitoring devices, GPS Navigation systems, clocks, Rider compass and motorcycle security devices exist in isolation. So the closest device which is similar to Fahrer is motorcycle navigation systems. Keeping that in mind, market study was done for motorcycle navigation devices, which in itself is a niche market. The thought of one day having motorcycle GPS units was at one time something a motorcyclist could only dream of. However, due to both demand, and better technology, GPS units for motorcycles are now something that most major GPS manufacturers make. Although the brand names are the same, shopping for a motorcycle GPS unit is different from purchasing one for a car, or any other enclosed automobile. Things such as anti-glare, waterproofing and how the unit can handle the vibrations of the bike are all things specifically designed for a motorcycle GPS navigation unit.

Trends in Connected devices

Market overview The two-wheeler market in India is the biggest contributor to the automobile industry with a size of Rs.100,000 million. The two-wheeler market in India comprises of 3 types of vehicles, namely motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. India’s two-wheeler industry is expected to grow about 9 per cent in 2014-15 as volumes in the short term are expected to draw support from the replacement demand. (According to credit rating agency Icra) Foreign collaborations have been playing a major role in the growth of the Indian two-wheeler market, and most of them are Japanese firms. Foreign firms have already taken initiatives to own their two-wheeler subsidiaries in India.

Some of the major players in the Indian motorcycles market are Hero Honda CBZ, Bajaj Pulsar, TVS and Apache. Other brands include Splendor, Passion, Fiero, Victor, Star City, Boxer, CD Dawn, Karizma, Caliber, etc. Having classified the motorcycle brands into economy, executive, and premium segments, Bajaj stands as the leader in the economy segment, Hero Honda leads in the executive segment, and there is a competition in the premium segment between Hero Honda and Bajaj. The following are the main factors that affect twowheeler sales in India: • •

Among the 3 segments of the Indian two wheeler market, major growth trends have been seen in the motorcycle segment over the last four to five years. One good reason for such increase in demand for motorcycles is due to its resistance and balance even on bad road conditions. Most of the rural areas in India do not have decent roads and hence the need for good, shock-resistant, and steady two-wheelers such as motorcycles had been felt.

Prabhav Jain, Graduation Project 2015

Increase in credit and financing for auto vehicles Two-wheeler loans and financing has been on the rise. Increase in consumer’s salary - Due to opportunities offered by multinationals the disposable incomes of salaried individuals have increase manifold. Constant petrol prices - Today, the government of India has been working on reducing subsidies on kerosene and diesel which will keep petrol prices at more or less the same level. Delay in initiation of properly well knit Mass Transport System - Probably a future threat to the two-wheeler market, the implementation of the mass transport system has been delayed.

- The information of feature trends and possibilities about the connected devices helped in taking appropriate design decisions. - Two wheeler market and information devices market study and CES 2014 trends with respect to connected devices helped in making design decisions. The research information was derived from Consumer Electronic show press release of year 2014 and freedonia - The need of design intervention was understood from the trends, which showed that the Internet of Personalized and Data-Driven Things and Internetconnected devices are expected to dominate: CES 2014

Safety Parameters Reducing the RELIANCE ON VISUAL FEEDBACK The act of moving your head to look at something is called the vestibulo-ocular reflex, which defines how a user responds to the device’s visual feedback. Overt reliance on this type of eye movement is not only a hazard, but a mismatch between user expectations and design considerations. Solutions : Solutions incorporate the use of verbal inputs and outputs, as well as taking advantage of different types of eye movements. 1. Hands-Free Navigation To allow the device to be more hands-free, user voice commands comes to help. Users could speak keywords such as “Go Home” to plan a route home from their current location, or speak addresses and points of interests. Speech recognition is not brand new technology and will improve the driving experience while using the device 2. Use of Left Hand Reliance on completely touch-screen interface to accomplish user tasks is not completely safe.The touch-screen becomes cumbersome and takes away the user’s focus when actually driving by forcing them to take their right hand (which for most people is their dominant hand) off the handle. To tackle this most of the controls in the device are seated on the left side of the screen in order to make their right hand free from any distractions. 3. Reflexive Visual Feedback The most used feature the GPS when announcing that a direction is about to occur, will have these announcements in a corresponding, minimal readable directive on screen to assure the driver they’re going the right way. This directive will emphasize saccadic eye movements rather than the vestibulo-ocular reflex as described below, by reducing the information load on the user. Along with this device will display minimal information in a visual format like street view, because most of the users recognize the images and visuals faster and without much effort. Together, these solutions will help reduce the safety hazards for the rider

Saccadic eye movements: It is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two phases of fixation in the same direction. Saccades are rapid, voluntary, and essentially reflexive eye movements; drivers tend to look at the screen briefly while driving for confirmation of directions they just heard. The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR): It is a reflex eye movement that stabilizes images on the retina during head movement.

Ergonomics For designing a display there are different things which are needed to be taken into consideration as listed bellow: - User riding position - The placement of the cluster on the two wheeler (motorcycle/Scooter ) - User Visual field - Character height or display font size - Viewing distance - Display systems Orientation Riding Position: Fig.1. (Right) Motorcycle referenceHonda CBR 250R(2012) Calculated seat height: 30.7 inches Forward lean: 20 degrees Knee angle: 76 degrees Rider information (Dimensions) Height: 5 feet 8 inches Inseam: 31 inches Critical points which define the riding position are: - Handle bar position - Seat position - Peg position Fig.92 . (Above)

Prabhav Jain, Graduation Project 2015

107


Information that would be used together most frequently should be grouped together and placed in the optimum visual zone. (Fig.93.) The viewing distance from the eye reference point of the seated operator to displays located close to their associated controls shall not exceed 640mm (25inches) and preferably not less than 510 mm (20 inches). (Fig.94.) User visual fields, character height, viewing distance and display orientation

The angle at which the display is placed should be at aminimum angle of 45 degrees to the normal of the line of sight. (Fig.95.)

Design Language Taking inspiration from the two mood boards that were created, a lot of forms were explored both on paper well as in high density thermocol. Design Language To generate form, inspiration was taken from Bosch’s present range of products. As the product can be docked over any vehicle above 150 CC, the design language was kept neutral , so that it compliments variety of scooters and motorcycles

113


Form Explorations Parameters for selecting Form: - Forms were explored based on the 2 mood boards (with Bosch’s own products), in order to be in sync with the company’s design language. - Design language of any particular Motorcycle/Scooter was not followed because the device can be mounted on different vehicles and they all can have different design languages. So the form needs to be neutral. - Form is minimal because it is not supposed to be overpowering or exaggerated as the device will be used while the user is riding a vehicle. So it should not be distracting in any way. - Most of the GPS /Navigation devices also have a similar form language which is minimal and fits the expected visual norms. Multiple forms were explored both on paper as well as on thermocol. Also many options were tried on 3D Modelling software as well, before selecting the final form.

Mounting the Device One of the challenges of designing this device was to be able to securely and safely place it near the vehicles instrument cluster without trepidation that it will fall off mid-drive. Other devices require awkwardly putting force on them while pushing down a lever, which results in user frustration when it doesn’t hold on. This is a critical, physical issue that compromises the driver’s safety and their trust in the device, since the driver will immediately turn their attention to the falling object and trying to reattach it rather than focusing on the road.

Inset ping cradle base

While finding a place to mount the device securely we came up with2 options: - Mirror Mount - Handle Mount Just because this device has to fit any 2 wheeler (either a scooter or motorcycle), we choose a mirror mount, because handle bar is not present in all the vehicles , whereas a rear view mirror is always there in any kind of vehicle.

Ball & socket system

The mount can be securely placed on the lower end of the mirror bar The mount consists moveable arm hardware that gets attached onto the mirror bar/ rails that are generally around 10 mm in diameter. Designed into the mount is a 1” diameter rubber ball and socket system with adjustment point at the end of the socket arm; this with a twist of the arm knob, allows the user to move the device to the optimum viewing position. The mounting hardware for mirror bar/ rails includes both standard and metric mounting bolts. These bolts fix securely onto the two C clamps making a secure grip. The mount employs rubber modules that secure the grip in between the two c clamps and helps in absorbing vibrations .The rubber modules provides a significantly larger range of motion capture, absorbing a lot shock and vibration during a ride. The included cradle onto which the device sits has a clean and clever four inset ping design that sports great holding position, just like in car’s removable stereo system.

1. Tyre Health Monitor Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors keeps a tab on the tyre health of the vehicle. The sensor is attached to each tire allowing the tire pressure to be monitored on the device display. The system can supports up to two tires in any configuration. Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) keeps a check on tire pressure and temperature in real time via the ANT technology. (Wireless Sensor Network technology for short range wireless communication) It even flashes out alerts in case the tire pressure is low and also monitors the tire pressure over time to detect slow leaks and prevent them from becoming a bigger problem later on. This system helps in increasing the tyre life of the vehicle.

Chapter: 6.3 Visual Design Preface to Visual Design UI Market Study and Inspiration UI Colour UI Typography Final UI

Prabhav Jain, Graduation Project 2015

194


Preface to Visual Design To create a visual language it is important to understand what elements contribute to it. These can be broadly classified into: - Colour Palette - Typography - Icon Style Based on the nature of the device, Design Brief and User persona we came up with few keywords for the Visual Design’s Look and feel. - Personalized - Simple and Clean - Approachable - Easy Navigation - Clarity Before finalizing a style, we also looked at some of the existing platforms available for GPS devices like TOM TOM, Bosch, Garmin and Mapmyindia.

Inspiration: These are images gathered from the internet. Although each image may or may not have all the characteristics and visual language this project aims to have, but most of them capture the essence of being: simple clean & bold

UI Colour Certain books and web articles that were referred during this project highlighted certain criteria’s that need to be kept in mind while choosing colors. (References have been sited in the document) Crate strong contrast between a background and the text: - The best combination is black and white for text and background. - Other effective backgrounds are dark blue gray and black

Primary Colours:

Select an average of 3 different colours and use them consistently: - Chromatic harmony is one of the most important criteria in order to create a pleasant visual experience for the viewer - A moderate number of colour choices should be employed.3-4 colours are enough, more than that is strongly not recommended. It causes eye fatigue for prolonged viewing Colours have certain connotations and these were kept in mind: - Black: Power, Elegance, Secrecy - Gray: Security, maturity, reliability - White: honesty, purity, cleanliness, peace - Green: life, natural, restfulness, health, wealth

Secondary Colours:

After going through all this, I felt that visual language should be classy, minimalistic and bold. I wanted the primary focus to be on the product hence I thought it would be ideal to have a black and white styel. But only back and white will become boring over the time, so I felt necessary to inculcate gradient and some fresh colour . So there are 2 primary colours : - White: Pantone Solid Coated Neutral White C - Black: Pantone Solid Coated Neutral Black C

Graddient Used:

And 2 Secondary colors - Dark Grey: Pantone Solid Coated 663 C - Green: Pantone Solid Coated 360 C

UI Typography Fonts that were taken into consideration were Myriad, Helvetica, Universe, Frutiger and Corbel. These are all sans-serif fonts and were chosen because they are humanistic, clean, minimalistic, legible and readable in nature. Finally Myriad was chosen: Header Text : Myriad (Semibold) Icon Text: Myriad (Roman) Body Text: Myriad (Roman) & Myriad (Bold)

Fig.129.1. Corbel

Final UI A flow of fully rendered screens for compass app has been done as an example for reference, to show how the visual design will be followed in all the screens. Since the UI is supposed to go on the device, the UI Image has also been placed on the device image for a more realistic appeal.

Conclusion This internship was truly a great learning experience for me. Alongside the niceties of working in Big corporate design studio, I was also able understand how important it is to have people skills and work in a design team with other people. I would be honest here, I got drifted a couple of times once this internship got over and took a little longer to finish the documentation, but could complete it properly by the end. The studio environment at Bosch was really amazing and multidisciplinary in a true sense because I got to lay my hands on not only Industrial design but also on ethnographic research, data consolidation, Visual design and Interaction design. This project also covers all these aspects in a certain way. I also met some amazing people during my stay at bosch design studio, couple of design interns from DSK, Pune which completely swept me off my feet. This entire tenure has been fun, adventurous, challenging and demanding but it has taught me a lot. It made me realize me of my abilities and incapacities and how I should balance both and work through it. Looking back I feel I had made the right choice to work at bosch and would definitely cherish all what I learned and did in this project till the end.
