I'm thrilled to share a recent project that I completed along with my team members as part of our MA in Interior Design at University for the Creative Arts, under the guidance of Dr Dilek Hocaoglu. Together, we developed an app, Never Lost, for indoor wayfinding, aimed at enhancing navigation and user experience in large indoor spaces like malls, universities, hospitals, and airports, etc. 🔍 Project Highlights: User-Centric Design: We prioritized a seamless and intuitive user interface, ensuring easy navigation for all age groups. Advanced Features: Our app includes real-time location tracking, voice-guided directions, 3D views, and customizable routes to cater to specific user needs. Accessibility: We integrated features to assist visually and hearing-impaired users, making indoor spaces more inclusive. 💡 Key Learnings: The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration – blending design, technology, and user experience. The value of user feedback in refining our app to meet diverse needs. The potential of technology in transforming everyday experiences within indoor environments. A huge shoutout to my incredible team members Aarthy Manivannan, mariyah najeeb, Samiksha Shinde. I am proud of what we achieved together and look forward to applying these insights in future projects.

My personal pet peeve is seeing people driving cars in a (more or less) horizontal position, reclined so far back that they're basically lying flat. When pressed, responses are typically something like, "Oh yes it's actually very comfortable", or, "I think it looks super cool". Okay, maybe not that last one, but I'm sure the offenders do think that 🫣 Here's a few reasons why you might what to reconsider: ⚠️ - You definitely don't have optimum control over the vehicle, nor the best possible road visibility. ⚠️ - It's not doing your neck, back or posture any good. I can see the side profile of your face out of the near-side rear passenger window, arms fully extended reaching for the steering wheel. ⚠️ - Your seatbelt isn't going to work as well. Nils Bohlin (Volvo Cars) gifted the world the 3-point seatbelt, you might as well use it properly! ⚠️ - Airbags. We've all seen the videos of people with their feet up on the dashboard, it's horrible. The lesson here is that airbags aren't designed to protect you from anywhere within the vehicle. When reclining too much, airbags may not deploy effectively, or worse, they could cause injury by striking the body at awkward angles. If this sounds like you, watch this: https://lnkd.in/eTQZ54in

🚨 Everyday Design Matters! Whether it’s parking, shopping, or navigating a website, good systems ergonomics ensures that technology works with us, not against us. By designing systems with the user in mind, we can avoid unnecessary frustration and errors. 🤯 #HumanFactors and #Ergonomics isn’t just about posture - it’s also about how systems are designed for people. Poor ergonomics in everyday systems can lead to frustration, inefficiency, and mistakes. 👀 Let’s explore some everyday ergonomics fails you’ve probably encountered: 🚙 1. The Parking Ticket Machine Nightmare Ever stood in front of a parking ticket machine, squinting at small, poorly lit buttons? Confusing layouts and hard-to-read instructions make a simple task unnecessarily complicated. ✅ Tip: Good systems design should have clear instructions, intuitive interfaces, and proper lighting to guide users with ease. 🖥️ 2. The UX Black Hole: Confusing Website Navigation We’ve all experienced websites that feel like a maze—where finding basic information takes multiple clicks and guesswork. Poor user experience (UX) design leads to wasted time and frustration. ✅ Tip: Clear menus, logical pathways, and user-friendly interfaces make systems more efficient and user-centred. 💡 3. The Desk Lamp Dilemma Poor lighting at your desk can cause eye strain, headaches, and fatigue, whether you’re working in an office or at home. Lighting that’s too dim or too harsh affects productivity and comfort. ✅ Tip: Ensure your desk is well-lit with soft, adjustable lighting to reduce strain on your eyes. 📱 4. The Touchscreen Glitch Ever used a touchscreen device that’s unresponsive or too sensitive? Whether it’s a self-checkout machine or a tablet, poor touchscreen calibration can turn a quick transaction into a headache. ✅Tip: Touchscreens should be calibrated for sensitivity and placed at an ergonomic height for easy use. 🪧 5. The Public Transport Signage Confusion Navigating complex transport systems can be a nightmare when signs are poorly placed, hard to read, or inconsistent. This leads to missed connections and confusion, especially in unfamiliar cities. ✅ Tip: Clear, consistent, and well-lit signage helps people move smoothly through public spaces. #HumanFactors #Ergonomics #UserCentredDesign #GlobalHumanFactorsMonth #MicroMacro #DesignThatConnectsUs
