Multimodal interaction constitutes a key technology for intelligent user
interfaces (IUI). The possibility to control devices and applications in a natural way enables an easier access to complex functionality as well as infotainment contents.
In recent years, the complexity of on-board and accessory devices, infotainment services, and driver assistance systems in cars has experienced an enormous increase. This development emphasizes the need for new concepts in advanced human-machine interfaces that support the seamless, intuitive, personalized and efficient use of this large variety of devices and services.
A modern car already implements hundreds of functions that a user can interact with, in some cases deployed over almost a hundred embedded platforms. These numbers will even grow for the next generation of high-class vehicles. The growing number of electronic devices integrated into cars also affects the creation of the user interface.
The built-in electronic control units are able to provide valuable context information, which needs to be considered for an intelligent management of multimodal interaction inside the car and adaptation of in-car systems to the user's needs. Sensor information like for example vehicle speed, location (using GPS plus gyroscope and accelerometer for greater reliability), outside temperature, etc., allows to draw conclusions about the current driving situation. Furthermore, dialog management needs to keep track of state changes of operating elements like control switches. Access to vehicle functions is also essential in order to initiate desired operations.
The goal of this workshop is to present, discuss, and outline context-aware multimodal interfaces for drivers and car passengers. Providing a personalized experience for different users will be an aspect of particular interest. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to unify innovative concepts that aim towards a new dimension of ease of use.
TOPICS
The topics include but are not restricted to:
* speech interfaces for in-car use * multimodal interaction * personalized in-car applications and user interfaces * adaptive car services * novel multimedia interfaces and in-car entertainment * user interface issues for assistive functionality * audio-visual information and entertainment * information fusion and fission * can bus architectures * experimental platforms and simulation solutions * user centered design applications * multi-party interaction concepts * integrated hardware solutions * car2car and car2X communication * approaches for the evaluation of novel car user interfaces * user interfaces for navigation systems * detection and estimation of user intentions * novel interactive car applications * interactive applications for drivers and passengers
* model-driven user interface development in the automotive domain
Contributions should have a strong focus on automotive or traffic applications.
