Abstract

Constrained by tight schedule and driven by both safety-critical and aesthetic concerns, an interdisciplinary team designed a novel in-vehicle multimodal, multimedia interface by an unconventional, streamlined process. The distinctive interface architecture and interaction design emphasize style and simplified interaction through strong visual design to speed user recognition, interpretation, and task completion, reducing driver distraction and cognitive load.
