Introducing the Lucid User Experience – crafted with humanity in mind.
I think the word magic is often used when describing a new product or experience and it’s easy to see why technology enables wondrous things but it’s important to remember that great interactions design or even incredible driving experience isn’t magic it’s intentional thoughtfully crafted or used by people lucid’s approach to human machine interface isn’t
Just about new features although it certainly has some world-class ones nor is it just about technology even though countless lines of code have been written we’ve learned an interface isn’t just about utility it’s also about humanity we’re happy to reveal the lucid user experience or lucid ux in talking to people about lucid they tell us the same thing over
And over the interactions within the cars they’ve driven in the past aren’t as easy to use intuitive or just plain beautiful as the other devices in their lives our drivers expect technology to aid not distract that’s why we’ve designed a system that keeps everything that works about the traditional car interface like a beautiful steering wheel sculpted physical
Controls and tactile touch we’ve paired it with everything that needed to be fixed let’s start with the displays we’ve created a 34 inch floating glass instrument cluster display it’s paired with a lower console display we call it the glass cockpit and pilot panel what really sets us apart is the form factor itself everything is contoured to the driver to optimize

Ours with tactile quality essential for reducing driver distraction often interactions are almost invisible facial recognition aids heads up and convenient systems exchanging data with a lucid idea count the pilot panel retracts to reveal extra storage that keeps that minimalist look all of this sophisticated usability is partnered with a look we’ve strived
To make warm and inviting our interior themes are inspired by the locations and the light of california and we’ve carried this aesthetic to the graphic user interface and even to the menu buttons one of the key design patterns is application flow which allows multiple displays to expand and contract so the driver isn’t overwhelmed with distracting options
Menus or settings if a more sophisticated interaction is needed a driver or passenger can pull the smart drawer to reveal more in-depth controls and it’s not just about pixels with both interior designers and digital designers creating elements together under one roof we can unify each and every touch point this means contact of a physical control creates a
