Abstract

This paper describes a collaboration between a communication designer and data scientists and engineers at the University of Portsmouth, to work with a consortium of companies in the marine industry around the Solent in South East England. The change affected here was economic and environmental: to add value to marine engineering services in order to retain market competitiveness, to comply with international standards to reduce fuel consumption and emission through innovation, and also to provide a better user experience through design.
In particular, the design research for a user interface on board the ship to assist non-experts in monitoring engineering data will be described. The design visualises sensor data taken from various engine components by utilising body schema like movement and rotation. Theoretically, this design approach draws on phenomenology, embodied cognition and metaphor.
