Problem
Developing compelling automotive user experiences (UX) and human-machine interfaces (HMI) is complex, often requiring extensive coding and lengthy iteration cycles. This traditional approach can hinder rapid prototyping, effective cross-functional collaboration between design and engineering, and the timely validation of user interaction concepts.
Solution
Epicnpoc provides the BOWL® software suite, a no-code platform designed to accelerate the creation and iteration of automotive UX and HMI prototypes. BOWL® enables designers and developers to rapidly build interactive prototypes by leveraging a component-based architecture and a visual development environment. This facilitates seamless integration of design intent with technical specifications, allowing for faster validation and a more efficient transition from concept to production-ready HMI. The platform bridges the gap between user experience design and engineering, fostering better communication and enabling quicker realization of innovative in-cabin experiences.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, UX designers, HMI developers, and R&D departments involved in creating next-generation in-cabin experiences.
