display design

In-cabin visual display layout and HMI design: instrument cluster arrangement, information grouping, glance-friendly readability, contrast, and where on-screen elements are placed. Covers the visual presentation surface inside the cabin, not the input controls drivers touch (control_interfaces) and not windshield-projected or augmented-reality imagery in the forward view (hud_ar_windshield).
