![]() To meet our deadline, we also needed the possibility to work together at the same time. ![]() It was just the perfect project to take full use out of ProtoPie’s capabilities in terms of real-time data connection, multiple hardware devices and screens. Having worked with ProtoPie before and thus knowing what the software can do brought us directly to the conclusion, that this is the best tool to get the job done. We wanted to create a highly sophisticated prototype, which gives users a good impression of our ideas, allows us to iterate quickly and come up with a solution in an extremely short timeframe. With an emphasis on hardware integration and personalisation, we knew we needed an advanced design software, one that went far beyond the limits of static screens. Also, they already set up everything to have full control over every hardware part in the car! Having all those capabilities at the palm of their hand they needed a visual representation to convince stakeholders. Envisioning a new car HMI from scratch seemed like one of the coolest projects I could have imagined. At the time we joined in on the project, Elexir had already established their software architecture. I got hooked by their idea right off the bat. By using an open-source software approach they are enabling everybody to contribute to its system and giving customers the ability to replace and add hardware elements and benefit from further software improvements. They achieved this by developing a completely new underlying software architecture. They built a highly customizable and extendable shared car, trying to attain the same experience as of owned, personalised cars.
