“…We used an existing set of gestures based on in-car mid-air gesture design guidelines [41,7] and ones already available for in-car use (BMW, VW). VW introduced the mid-air swipe left/right gesture in their gesture enabled user interface 3 , which we used in our study.…”

This paper presents an investigation into the effects of different feedback modalities on mid-air gesture interaction for infotainment systems in cars. Car crashes and near-crash events are most commonly caused by driver distraction. Mid-air interaction is a way of reducing driver distraction by reducing visual demand from infotainment. Despite a range of available modalities, feedback in mid-air gesture systems is generally provided through visual displays. We conducted a simulated driving study to investigate how different types of multimodal feedback can support in-air gestures. The effects of different feedback modalities on eye gaze behaviour, and the driving and gesturing tasks are considered. We found that feedback modality influenced gesturing behaviour. However, drivers corrected falsely executed gestures more often in non-visual conditions. Our findings show that non-visual feedback can reduce visual distraction significantly.

“…One possible explanation of these results is that with a rotary control drivers don't have to physically reach the screen and/or rely on poor screen resolution for discriminating between targets. According to Kim and Song (Kim and Song, 2014) gesture-based interactions are more often worse than their classic touch button counterparts when used within an in-car set-up. Only the panning gesture was found to have a small impact on driving performance.…”

“…Indeed, kinetic scrolling allows users to skip large chunks of the list with only one movement, while the pager technique requires users to go through each page with a swipe or touch gesture. Additionally, as repetitive multi-touch gestures may cause fatigue in the user's wrist (Kim and Song, 2014) it is necessary to reduce the number of occurrences for these types of interactions. These results confirm that the way a user browses lists of items on multi-touch devices could still be improved.…”

Driving while using a smartphone-based mobility application: Evaluating the impact of three multi-choice user interfaces on visual-manual distraction

a b s t r a c tInnovative in-car applications provided on smartphones can deliver real-time alternative mobility choices and subsequently generate visual-manual demand. Prior studies have found that multi-touch gestures such as kinetic scrolling are problematic in this respect. In this study we evaluate three prototype tasks which can be found in common mobile interaction use-cases. In a repeated-measures design, 29 participants interacted with the prototypes in a car-following task within a driving simulator environment. Task completion, driving performance and eye gaze have been analysed. We found that the slider widget used in the filtering task was too demanding and led to poor performance, while kinetic scrolling generated a comparable amount of visual distraction despite it requiring a lower degree of finger pointing accuracy. We discuss how to improve continuous list browsing in a dual-task context.

“…Physical controls are increasingly being replaced with touchscreens, with some vehicles' interior controls being entirely presented in a single touchscreen unit. These touchscreen interfaces frequently lack haptic, sensory feedback making them visually demanding, therefore requiring more visual attention compared to interfaces with physical controls (Kim & Song, ; Suh & Ferris, ). The growing prevalence of in‐vehicle touchscreen units coinciding with increased cell phone interaction while driving (IIHS, ) may present the potential for a “perfect storm” in adolescents, where adolescents' vulnerability to distraction (Klauer et al, ) may result in MM via an in‐vehicle touchscreen infotainment unit in combination with a handheld cell phone while driving.…”

Adolescence is a critical period in brain development particularly in regions related to attention and executive function (EF). As the use of electronics and media in daily activities increases, one essential question is how adolescent attention development and related executive and speed processes are impacted by media multitasking (MM), or the simultaneous use of media (e.g., text messaging while watching television). This review examines current literature concerning (a) the prevalence of MM during adolescence; (b) relations between MM and adolescent cognitive development, specifically attention, speed of processing, and EF; and (c) real‐world implications of MM including adolescents and driver distraction. Finally, future challenges and opportunities in MM research are explored with special attention given to overcoming the limitations of current research in this area and the critical need to advance our understanding of the impact of MM on adolescent driver safety.
