As technology advances, we’re building ever more sophisticated ways of interacting with it. The bridge between human and machine is the human-machine interface (HMI).
In this presentation, we’ll introduce you to HMI design with Unreal Engine.
You’ll discover how Unreal Engine can be used to design best-in-class HMI and how Epic hopes to inspire the automotive industry by engaging its awesome creative community of artists, architects, and gameplay designers to usher in the next generation of possibilities with in-vehicle interfaces.
We’ll also kick off the Unreal Engine HMI Design Challenge: an open, community-based competition where you can design your very own HMI concept using the template introduced in this webinar.
Tune in to learn how to use the template and get ready to submit your concept to be reviewed by design experts from the automotive industry.
We’ll cover:
> Using Unreal Engine to create best-in-class HMI designs
> Render Target Blueprint scripts, setting up virtual 3D screens in a virtual car interior, and exporting your design in a Sequencer video
> Using the HMI Design Template, what judges are looking for in the challenge, and how to enter the competition
