Cars offer an increasing number of infotainment systems as well as comfort functions that can be controlled by the driver. In our research, we investigate new interaction techniques that aim to make it easier to interact with these systems while driving. We suggest utilizing the steering wheel as an additional interaction surface. In this paper, we present two user studies conducted with a working prototype of a multi-touch steering wheel. In the first, we developed a user-defined steering wheel gesture set, and in the second, we applied the identified gestures and compared their application to conventional user interaction with infotainment systems in terms of driver distraction. The main outcome was that driver's visual demand is reduced significantly by using gestural interaction on the multi-touch steering wheel.

“…To improve driving safety, different alternative in-vehicle interaction methods have been explored (e.g., [2,5,6]). Prior studies explored new in-vehicle interfaces on the steering wheel [5][6][7][8][9][10] and are influenced by González et al's "eyes on the road, hands on the wheel" paradigm [5]. Another frequently investigated in-vehicle interaction method is mid-air gestures [2,11].…”

Textiles are a vital and indispensable part of our clothing that we use daily. They are very flexible, often lightweight, and have a variety of application uses. Today, with the rapid developments in small and flexible sensing materials, textiles can be enhanced and used as input devices for interactive systems. Clothing-based wearable interfaces are suitable for in-vehicle controls. They can combine various modalities to enable users to perform simple, natural, and efficient interactions while minimizing any negative effect on their driving. Research on clothing-based wearable in-vehicle interfaces is still underexplored. As such, there is a lack of understanding of how to use textile-based input for in-vehicle controls. As a first step towards filling this gap, we have conducted a user-elicitation study to involve users in the process of designing in-vehicle interactions via a fabric-based wearable device. We have been able to distill a taxonomy of wrist and touch gestures for in-vehicle interactions using a fabric-based wrist interface in a simulated driving setup. Our results help drive forward the investigation of the design space of clothing-based wearable interfaces for in-vehicle secondary interactions.

“…However, it is not clear how the content of the screen was to be kept horizontal. Although a round screen that adjusts content along with the rotation of the steering wheel can be used [3], the cost is too high to commercialize and also prevents the installation of airbags. A study of car audio system interfaces [4] proposed mapping the control commands to a similar system as the fingerings of chords.…”

Devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs of various sizes have become increasingly popular, finding new applications, including in-car audio systems. This paper proposes a new car audio system. In the architecture, music data is stored in an online database, which users are then able to select a genre of music or a playlist from through a 2D interface. Self-organizing map, depending on a personalized distance function and music contents, is utilized to map music tracks to the interface. With this data model and interface, drivers can easily select the type of music they want to listen to without interfering with their driving. Artificial neural networks record and analyze user preference, allowing the system to select and order the music tracks to be played automatically. Experiments have shown that the system satisfies user requirements.
