Inca Jay: Digital Cockpit Technology

Overview

Inca Jay is a next-generation infotainment system, that is pushing the limits of mid-range board technology. As a UX Designer for the project, I was responsible for the concept design and prototyping. I was part of the development of the concept car from ideation to production.

I worked directly with stakeholders, product owner, engineers, designers and OEMs to make a product that bridges the gap between human-centered innovation and business needs.

Features

Our hardware is capable of running two operating systems concurrently. The first powers critical safety features. The second, Android 11, handles non-critical features such as media, phone, or navigation.

Alexa is customized to control vehicle temperature, turn on/off the A/C or change the center display orientation to portrait or landscape.
Intelligent Conversation Assistant facilitates spoken reminders and playback. The assistant can even help translate between languages!
Our advanced navigation utilizes our High Definition Locator to pinpoint vehicle location. Combined with an AI, the system has real-time road understanding, can provide lane-level navigation, detect object/pedestrian/hazard detection, and more.
In-Vehicle Payment uses the interior camera to scan credit card information and store it in a user profile. It then uses facial recognition to authorize payment.
Location Insight directs drivers to a parking lot and points out available spots, zones, and space numbers. At a gas station, the car automatically communicates pump numbers, fuel preference, and payment information to simplify the filling-up process.
Remote Communication allows car owners to peek into their cars from a distance, perfect for concerned parents or pet owners. It can even reveal the identity of car thieves.
Driver and Passenger Monitoring supports quick facial enrollment and user identification. It detects driver gaze for distraction, road rage, and drowsiness. A combination of this data and hard break/hard acceleration provides a summary of ride quality and true passenger satisfaction that can be useful for rideshare services.
Media is the most popular feature in a car. This system redesigns AM/FM, satellite, and cloud-based entertainment (like Spotify) into one seamless interaction. For additional fun, it features Live Karaoke.
A tuning algorithm called Sound Stage by Arkamys delivers an enhanced audio experience on a mid-level speaker setup.
