TUMMIC - Thoroughly consistent User-centered Man Machine Interaction in Cars Scientific Director: Gudrun Klinker Contact Person(s): Marcus Tönnis In industrial collaboration with: ZT-3, BMW Forschung & Technik GmbH

Keywords: HCI in Cars

Abstract

The focus of this project relies on the HCI part of automobile technology. Even if sensory information is necessary, the project assumes THE sensor system and therefore focusses on the evaluation of HCIs.

PARENT

PARENT is a design and evaluation platform for innovative driver assistance systems and their HCI. On the one hand, traffic scenarios can easily be generated and evaluated. On the other hand, generated HCI concepts are easy to evaluate against a baseline.

Application PARENT

CAR

The goal of CAR is to create a collaboration platform for computer scientists (UI programmers) and non-technicans (human factors, psychologists etc.). The platform allows collaborative design of visualizations and interaction metaphors to be used in the next-generation cars with Head-Up Displays. We focus on two scenarios: parking assistance and a tourist guide.
