Assessing Cognitive Demand during Natural Language Interactions with a Digital Driving Assistant (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Anyasodo, B., & Skrypchuk, L. (2016). Assessing Cognitive Demand during Natural Language Interactions with a Digital Driving Assistant. In Automotive'UI 16: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (67-74). https://doi.org/10.1145/3003715.3005408

Given the proliferation of digital assistants in everyday mobile technology, it appears inevitable that next generation vehicles will be embodied by similar agents, offering engaging, natural language interactions. However, speech can be cognitively... Read More about Assessing Cognitive Demand during Natural Language Interactions with a Digital Driving Assistant.

Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Crundall, E., Lawson, G., & Skrypchuk, L. (2016). Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI. In Automotive'UI 16: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (161-168). https://doi.org/10.1145/3003715.3005459

Touchscreen Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) inherently demand some visual attention. By employing a secondary device, to work in unison with a touchscreen, some of this demand may be alleviated. In a medium-fidelity driving simulator, twenty-four dri... Read More about Twist It, Touch It, Push It, Swipe It: Evaluating Secondary Input Devices for Use with an Automotive Touchscreen HMI.

Augmented Mirrors: Depth Judgments When Augmenting Video Displays to Replace Automotive Mirrors (2016)
Journal Article
Smith, M., Kane, V., Gabbard, J. L., Burnett, G., & Large, D. R. (2016). Augmented Mirrors: Depth Judgments When Augmenting Video Displays to Replace Automotive Mirrors. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 60(1), 1590-1594. doi:10.1177/1541931213601367

This study investigates the effects of Augmented Reality (AR) graphics on a drivers’ distance estimation and depth perception when using a video-based, AR-enhanced driver’s side mirror. Sixteen participants took part in the study, eight in a driving... Read More about Augmented Mirrors: Depth Judgments When Augmenting Video Displays to Replace Automotive Mirrors.

Driver-passenger collaboration as a basis for human-machine interface design for vehicle navigation systems (2016)
Journal Article
Antrobus, V., Burnett, G., & Krehl, C. (2016). Driver-passenger collaboration as a basis for human-machine interface design for vehicle navigation systems. Ergonomics, 60(3), https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2016.1172736

Human Factors concerns exist with vehicle navigation systems, particularly relating to the effects of current Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) on driver disengagement from the environment. A road study was conducted aiming to provide initial input for... Read More about Driver-passenger collaboration as a basis for human-machine interface design for vehicle navigation systems.

A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays (2016)
Journal Article
Crundall, E., Large, D. R., & Burnett, G. (2016). A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays. Displays, 43, 23-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.displa.2016.05.003

Modern vehicles increasingly utilise a large display within the centre console, often with touchscreen capability, to enable access to a wide range of driving and non-driving-related functionality. The text provided on such displays can vary consider... Read More about A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays.

Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems (2016)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Burnett, G., Benford, S., & Oliver, K. (in press). Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems. Behaviour and Information Technology, 35(10), https://doi.org/10.1080/0144929X.2016.1158317

Augmenting navigation systems with landmarks has been posited as a method of improving the effectiveness of the technology and enhancing drivers’ engagement with the environment. However, good navigational landmarks are both laborious to collect and... Read More about Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems.

Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers (2016)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Crundall, E., Burnett, G., Harvey, C., & Konstantopoulous, P. (2016). Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers. Applied Ergonomics, 55, 138-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2016.02.003

Drivers' awareness of the rearward road scene is critical when contemplating or executing lane-change manoeuvres, such as overtaking. Preliminary investigations have speculated on the use of rear-facing cameras to relay images to displays mounted ins...
