Abstract

Car rides are often perceived as dull by the passengers, especially children. Therefore, we aim to introduce a system fostering a collaborative and communicative experience in this environment. This paper presents the design for a game played together by all car-occupants, including the driver, according to their abilities and capacities. A fully implemented prototype of our system called nICE: nice In-Car Experience is evaluated under real world conditions in a user study with five families using a qualitative approach.
