These are the codebases and design assets for prototypes used in the thought-piece "Re-imagining the instrument cluster in cars" written by ustwo. There are 4 web based prototypes in this repository representing:
- An unbranded archetype of an instrument cluster
- Concept cluster UI of a Ferrari California
- Concept cluster UI of a Mercedes Benz S-class
- Adaptive UI prototype - using headtracking as a basis for judging viewing angle.
Also included in the design assets folder is a PSD file for you to play with too.

-
The primary tool used for building these prototypes has been the FramerJS framework built for rapid prototyping and experimentation. This can be found at http://framerjs.com/ and their realtime application Framer Studio.
-
Also used is PaperJS http://paperjs.org/ for vector graphics scripting.
-
Headtrackr JS - which is a javascript library for real-time face tracking and head tracking, tracking the position of a users head in relation to the computer screen, via a web camera and the webRTC/getUserMedia standard. https://github.com/auduno/headtrackr/
Please feel free to comment on the prototypes and the codebase along with feeling free to riff and build on them if possible. Attribution to ustwo will be much appreciated.
