Abstract

This poster outlines Ethnographic research into the design of an environment to study a land speed record vehicle, or more generally, a vehicle posing a high cognitive load for the user. The challenges of empirical research activity in the design of unique artifacts is discussed, where we may not have the artefact available in the real context to study, nor key informants that have direct relevant experience. We also describe findings from the preliminary design studies and the study into the design of the yoke for driving steer-by-wire.
