The innovative use of biophysiological metrics is revolutionizing the objective assessment of in-cabin comfort features in modern vehicles. Traditional methods of evaluating comfort often rely on subjective feedback, which can be inconsistent and biased. By leveraging advanced biophysiological measurements such as heart rate variability, skin conductance, and eye tracking, This presentation will demonstrate how toRead more

In today’s automotive landscape, understanding and anticipating the needs of end-users has never been more critical. My presentation will focus on the importance of customer obsession and the role of rigorous user studies in accurately defining what users truly want from their in-car infotainment systems. By placing the customer at the heart of design, OEMsRead more

Transitioning between AD and manual control remains a critical challenge whenever new technologies are introduced in AVs. Audrey Nielot explores the strategies and technologies designed to effectively inform drivers when to take over control from an AV. Focusing on ADAS and their role in facilitating a smooth communication pathway between the AV and the driver,Read more

Augmented Reality has emerged as the next exciting frontier for automotive HMIs, thanks to its ability to seamlessly enhance trust, safety, and comfort throughout the driving experience. Yet, turning this vision into reality poses challenges for the automotive industry. In this presentation, we will walk you through several innovative use cases for automotive AR, discussRead more

New technologies such as touchscreens have enhanced the user experience in cars, but these experiences suffer in relation to mechanical switches when it comes to providing the tactile feedback that drivers need to be able to operate these controls without taking their eyes off the road. Haptics (the science of touch) has evolved beyond simple “vibration” effectsRead more

This presentation will share the process and outcomes of a project that investigated four advanced touch technologies: Haptics, Force Touch, Driver vs Passenger Detection, and Proximity Sensing. The primary goal was to address user pain points through an intuitive interaction design paradigm, potentially supporting reductive design by utilizing these technologies. The study focused on generatingRead more
