Vision K Vision Vehicle by Deniz Kurtcepe

Home > Winners > #171323




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Vision K

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Vision Vehicle

INSPIRATION:
The inspiration for Vision K stems from the natural elegance of wind shaped rock formations and the need for an intuitive driving experience. Extensive research with 200 drivers revealed the challenges of traditional dashboard designs, leading to the development of no look controls and an optimized human machine interface. By balancing digital and physical interfaces, The K enhances focus, reducing distractions and redefining the relationship between driver and machine.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Vision K redefines the driving experience through a life centric approach, integrating intuitive controls with advanced Human Machine Interface technology. Inspired by wind-sculpted monoliths, its aerodynamic design merges aesthetics with performance. Featuring real time data integration and nolook controls, The K minimizes cognitive load, enhancing safety and usability. Developed through extensive user testing, it seamlessly blends form, function, and cutting edge technology.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Vision K prioritizes an intuitive and distraction free driving experience. Nolook physical controls allow drivers to operate essential functions without taking their eyes off the road. The AI-powered human machine interface adapts to user preferences, streamlining real-time data and minimizing cognitive load. By integrating digital and tactile interactions, the system enhances usability, providing a seamless balance between automation and driver control.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The Vision K project commenced in 2022 and was developed over two years, involving multidisciplinary teams across Europe and North America. Extensive user testing and iterative prototyping took place in controlled environments and real-world conditions. The final design integrates insights from extensive driver research, culminating in an innovative, user focused automotive experience.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Vision K was developed using advanced 3D modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and ergonomic simulations. The vehicle’s monolithic structure optimizes aerodynamics while lightweight composite materials enhance efficiency. The human machine interface system integrates AI driven real-time data, adaptive displays, and haptic feedback for seamless interaction. Precision engineering ensures an intuitive, safe, and high-performance driving experience.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Vision K features a low, aerodynamic silhouette designed for maximum efficiency. Dimensions: Width 1900mm x Length 4800mm x Height 1400mm. The vehicle integrates a fully digital cockpit with an adaptive user interface, incorporating AI driven customization. The no look control system utilizes haptic feedback and strategically placed physical buttons for critical actions, enhancing safety and reducing driver distraction.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Vision K’s development was driven by a comprehensive user study involving over 200 drivers. Research focused on cognitive load, ergonomic usability, and real time data integration. Methodologies included eye-tracking analysis, reaction time assessments, and adaptive user interface testing. Insights led to an optimized human machine interface, reducing distractions and improving accessibility. Findings were directly applied to the design, ensuring an intuitive, data informed user experience.

CHALLENGE:
The primary challenge was balancing digital innovation with user familiarity. Over-reliance on touchscreen interfaces in modern vehicles has led to increased cognitive load and distractions. By studying user behavior, the K introduced a hybrid system integrating tactile feedback and adaptive displays. Achieving seamless interaction required extensive prototyping, refining button placement, haptic response, and visual hierarchy to create an intuitive driving environment.
