To Please in a Pod: Employing an Anthropomorphic Agent-Interlocutor to Enhance Trust and User Experience in an Autonomous, Self-Driving Vehicle (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D., Harrington, K., Burnett, G., Luton, J., Thomas, P., & Bennett, P. (2019, September). To Please in a Pod: Employing an Anthropomorphic Agent-Interlocutor to Enhance Trust and User Experience in an Autonomous, Self-Driving Vehicle. Presented at AutomotiveUI '19: 11th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, Utrecht, Netherlands

Recognising that one of the aims of conversation is to build, maintain and strengthen positive relationships with others, the study explores whether passengers in an autonomous vehicle display similar behaviour during transactions with an on-board co...

"It's small talk, jim, but not as we know it.": engendering trust through human-agent conversation in an autonomous, self-driving car (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Large, D. R., Clark, L., Burnett, G., Harrington, K., Luton, J., Thomas, P., & Bennett, P. (2019, August). "It's small talk, jim, but not as we know it.": engendering trust through human-agent conversation in an autonomous, self-driving car. Presented at 1st International Conference on Conversational User Interfaces (CUI2019), Dublin, Ireland

The use of speech has been popularised as a human-vehicle interface in the automotive domain. While this is most often associated with alleviating concerns of driver distraction and cognitive load, the study explores whether the presence of conversat...

Feel the noise: Mid-air ultrasound haptics as a novel human-vehicle interaction paradigm (2019)
Journal Article
Large, D., Harrington, K., Burnett, G., & Georgiou, O. (2019). Feel the noise: Mid-air ultrasound haptics as a novel human-vehicle interaction paradigm. Applied Ergonomics, 81, Article 102909. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2019.102909

Focussed ultrasound can be used to create the sensation of touch in mid-air. Combined with gestures, this can provide haptic feedback to guide users, thereby overcoming the lack of agency associated with pure gestural interfaces, and reducing the nee...
