The Deep Orange program immerses automotive engineering students into the world of an OEM as part of their graduate education. While developing the program’s seventh vehicle concept, students explored new human machine interface concepts with the goal of having a clean, minimal interior design. One outcome of their ideation process is a concept for a holographic companion that can act as a concierge for all functions of the vehicle. After creating a prototype of the holographic display using existing technologies and developing a user interface controlled by hand gestures, a usability study was performed with older adults. The results suggest the system was not intuitive. Participants demonstrated better performance with tasks using discrete hand motions in comparison to those that required continuous motions. The data were helpful to understand the challenges of untrained users interacting with a new HMI system.

Current parking assist systems are designed to aid the driver. This paper presents a new concept for a parking assist system that was designed to help other drivers. Sixteen participants participated in this usability study to evaluate the intuitiveness of the parking assist concept. The results showed that all of the participants understood the purpose of the system without any explanation. Participants provided valuable suggestions for future iterations. The majority of the participants would like to have this type of parking assist system on their own vehicle and would want to use it while parking. Future efforts are suggested prior to incorporating this concept on a production vehicle.
