Abstract:
The multiplicity of interface elements in an automobile can present a
hinderance to usability and safety. We prototyped and conducted
preliminary testing of an automobile driving interface. Our key design
principle was to enhance driver situational awareness while minimizing
distractions. We aimed to accomplish this task by exploiting the
benefits of an auditory display coupled with a minimized visual head up
display (HUD). Results from our testing indicated that this approach
could be an effective method of improving driver safety in hazardous
situations.
