KOL Interview
Mr. & Mrs. Wang (Influencer in TikTok)
Consider the problem of adding water and electricity, and saving water and electricity when it can be saved
Need to consider how to treat sewage
The RV is bulky, so it is necessary to consider the height and width limit and parking issues.
Sarah (Influencer Youtuber)
RV is taller and more extensive than a standard car, so there will be problems with parking and high speed
Most drive-thrus are limited in height, and it may be challenging to find food quickly
Feel boredom because less entertainment when staying overnight at attractions
User Interview
Charles (RV Driving Experience)
I need to be more careful than usual when driving my RV, which is wider and taller than a normal car.
The most challenging part is when I encounter some unexpected situations on the road, such as high or low tire pressure, sharp rocks on the road causing tire blowout, bad weather, etc.
Normal car navigation does not have the function of making a route specifically for the RV, and it needs to search for the camping spot of the RV to achieve the purpose of resting, adding water and disposing of waste.
Ruitao (RV Riding Experience)
Both the driving and parking of the RV need to consider the floor space, especially some special road conditions, such as going up and down mountains, which are a challenge for large vehicles.
Need to find RV campsites, add water, dispose of waste, etc. on your own. Some RV campground facilities are very imperfect.
Outdoor temperature and safety after parking are also important aspects of RV travel.

Problem
Statement
In the process of driving the RV, the driver first needs to consider the height and width of the RV so that it can drive safely on the road. Secondly, the driver often needs to find a campsite with complete facilities to park and replenish resources. In the event of a situation, such as a flat tire and severe weather, a timely solution is required.

Question
How might we improve the user experience and safety of drivers in driving an RV through the combination of hud and interactive system, making the journey more relaxed?
User
Journey Map
Wang is a programmer and also a father. His work is very busy, so when he is off, he prefers to go out for nature tours. His daughter is 5 years old, and when he takes his wife and daughter on trips, her daughter is always noisy. So a month ago, he bought an RV to ensure a better travel experience for the family

About
Based on the research on RV users and the market, we decided to make a HUD system for RV drivers, which is suitable for RV users to obtain the required information more conveniently during driving.
Insight
Use the table to determine the overall design direction and risk points, etc.
Diagram

Navigation and information display for RV drivers
Scenarios
Use storyboards to simulate scenarios in which your design could be used

About
The design is based on the original intention of safe driving, integrating the information that RV drivers may need during the journey, and forming the design in a relatively simple and clean way. You can view the prototype of this project in the link below.
