"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...

White, H., LARGE, D., Salanitri, D., Burnett, G., Lawson, A., & Box, E. (2019, April). Rebuilding Drivers’ Situation Awareness During Take-Over Requests in Level 3 Automated Cars. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2019, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK

Future, level 3 automated vehicles will enable drivers to undertake non-driving-related secondary tasks while the vehicle is in control. This is likely to impair their situation awareness, and consequently affect their ability to resume control in si...
