Climate Virtualization

GENERAL MOTORS MY24/25 HVAC 

Virtual Controls don’t have same limitations as Hard Controls. Room to flex the space up and down.

Using a consistent set of 7 hard controls determined by the most used controls and regulatory requirements

Prioritize virtual controls based on safety and frequency of use:

1. 1st surface – Available all time to the user 

2. 2nd surface – Available after one click

3. 3rd surface – Available after 2 clicks

Reorganize and simplify information. Finding commonality between programs and applying custom solutions to specific programs, as needed

Smartphone-like experience in their vehicles while keeping safety/drive-work-load in mind

A lot of research and user testing to create optimal experience keeping in mind the constraints
