Cedar Rapids, Iowa | As someone who studies user interface any time I can, this thread makes me recall two quotes:
"Good design is harder to see, because it often consists of staying out of your way as much as it consists of putting things in front of you." -Reddit
"Perhaps the greatest contributor to poor software quality is the unfortunate fact that most developers are not experts in the business domain served by their applications." -Bill Curtis, 7/1/2009
You can add the Kinze Vision display to the list of things that throw informational messages that are blocking and require acknowledgement to continue. Frickin audible alarm will drive a guy mad after a few hours.
IMHO, the iron manufacturers need a refresher on that first quote too. The cab/control design on many new machines is very unfriendly. Fendt is probably the biggest offender with their "space ship" of a tractor cab. CNH seems to put one bad UI element into every cab design.
