Aurovisual Communication in Autonomous Vehicles (Developmental Phase 2)
With the principles of how we were going to conduct the experiment and execute the simulation using Unreal Engine and VR, we could then focus on strengthening the design of the Autonomous Vehicle. Shown here are sketches as I locked down the design and work on achieving greater detail in this work on a speculative AV.
This was how I percieved the interior to look like.
Generating designs of possible AVs. Note that attention has to be paid to maximise space within a vehicle, hence the box-like shape.
More designs of possible AVs.
I eventually settled on the designs of these 2 as I liked the side profile images which I sketched out. These provide a unique styling which stood out from the otherwise boxy shape.
