01About the course
What you will learn in Automotive HMI & UX
Automotive HMI (human–machine interface) is everything a driver sees, touches and hears inside a vehicle: the digital instrument cluster, infotainment touchscreen, climate controls, voice assistant and warning messages. Automotive UX is the practice of designing these so they are clear at a glance and safe to use while driving. Designers use prototyping tools such as ProtoPie and Qt Design Studio to build screens that behave like the real product before any code is written for the car.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want Automotive HMI & UX taught live by a trainer.
Comfortable computer use is needed. Basic UI/UX knowledge helps a lot; for the Qt Design Studio course, some familiarity with any programming or markup language is useful.
