In this episode of Smart Cast, we’re joined by control systems expert Jay Parmar to explore the often-overlooked but critical world of user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design on superyachts. From touchscreen layouts to intuitive control flows, Jay shares how Smart Technology Advisers ensures that every interaction onboard feels seamless, elegant, and tailored to the owner's lifestyle.
We dive into:
What UI and UX really mean in the context of yacht technology
How owner preferences shape the design process
The balance between aesthetics, functionality, and reliability
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, yacht owner, crew or industry professional, this episode offers valuable insights into how thoughtful design transforms technology into luxury.
