ABSTRACT
Augmented reality (AR) navigation systems are likely to improve the driving experience compared to today's personal navigation devices on the dashboard, as they don't require glances away from the road ahead. As technology is not yet capable to deliver an affordable and seamless HUD AR solution, we explore an inexpensive version of augmentation, which would have a similar benefit of reduced distraction. We propose using an LED (light emitting diode) matrix in the periphery of the driver's vision to indicate turns on the road. We find that such a system produces better results in visual attention, driving performance and in subjective measures compared to standard navigation devices.

Thank you, I did not see that: in-car speech based information systems for older adults
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsOlder adult drivers have more difficulty than the general driving public in attending to driving tasks especially in complex traffic situations. This study examines whether a speech based in-car information system can positively influence driver ...
