“…In a user study, Spies et al compared a traditional, flat touchpad and the haptic touchpad. The results show that the haptic touchpad reduces the number and duration of glances to the screen and results in less lane deviation than the use of the traditional touchpad [8].…”

Implementing controls in the car becomes a major challenge: The use of simple physical buttons does not scale to the increased number of assistive, comfort, and infotainment functions. Current solutions include hierarchical menus and multi-functional control devices, which increase complexity and visual demand. Another option is speech control, which is not widely accepted, as it does not support visibility of actions, fine-grained feedback, and easy undo of actions. Our approach combines speech and gestures. By using speech for identification of functions, we exploit the visibility of objects in the car (e.g., mirror) and simple access to a wide range of functions equaling a very broad menu. Using gestures for manipulation (e.g., left/right), we provide fine-grained control with immediate feedback and easy undo of actions. In a user-centered process, we determined a set of user-defined gestures as well as common voice commands. For a prototype, we linked this to a car interior and driving simulator. In a study with 16 participants, we explored the impact of this form of multimodal interaction on the driving performance against a baseline using physical buttons. The results indicate that the use of speech and gesture is slower than using buttons but results in a similar driving performance. Users comment in a DALI questionnaire that the visual demand is lower when using speech and gestures.

“…Both were considered superior to the rotary control. Spiess et al [13] developed a tactile touchpad prototype and showed that precise tactile feedback reduced distraction. They also found that visual feedback through pointers increased distraction significantly and complicated target selection.…”

“…This method relies on a visual pointer, similar to WIMPbased interfaces. Tracking a visual pointer to select interface element demands a great deal of visual attention [13]. Thus, the central research question for our line of work is: how can in-car touchpad interfaces be designed to provide efficient and effective interaction comparable to direct touch?…”

Current automotive interfaces rely heavily on touchscreen interfaces which leverage simple and intuitive direct touch interaction. Since input and output are co-located, displays have to be positioned within hand's reach. When the display is outside the reach envelope, a touchpad has been used as a control device. Current implementation of touchpads in cars rely on a relative input method that requires a visual cursor and is known to cause distraction from primary driving task. Newer touchpads with force sensing ability are getting introduced in notebook computers. We propose to use a force-enabled touchpad with absolute mapping for target selection. We performed a controlled experiment as a first step towards assessing whether absolute mapped force input target selection performance can be comparable to direct touch input. Results show that target selection performance is not significantly different from direct touch input making a case for force-enabled touchpad usage in scenarios where the display is outside the reach envelope.
