Abstract

This paper presents a novel Human-Computer Interaction design approach for an automotive direct manipulation interface, aiming primarily to act as a younger passengers' interactive infotainment system in order to minimize driver distraction. The proposed design is applied in the peripheral windscreens with the use of a novel Head-Up Display system. The system evaluation by twenty users offered promising results discussed in the paper.
