Experiencing Autonomous Vehicles:
Crossing the Boundaries between a Drive and a Ride
Workshop at ACM CHI 2015 Conference, Seoul, Korea
http://www.autonomous-driving-ux.org/chi2015/
Submission deadline: 5th January 2015
Notifications: 6th February 2015
******************************************************
Despite decades of research Autonomous Driving has only recently started
to gain major attention from academia and industry. Research
organizations and companies have developed autonomous as well as semi
autonomous vehicles and the first in-situ studies have been conducted.
This one-day workshop covers the crossovers between user experience (UX)
research and driving/riding in autonomous as well as semi autonomous
vehicles. The focus lies in an in- depth discussion on challenges and
potentials for UX and autonomous vehicles among industry experts and
researchers.
We will explore various areas such as methodological issues, human
factors, entertainment, social driving, and novel user interface
approaches. The overall aim of the workshop is to discuss the future
landscape for research within and across each these areas.
To explore these areas we invite researchers and practitioners to submit
their project experience (e.g. work-in-progress, demo, etc) or position
on one of the following topics (the list is not exhaustive):
Submissions are invited including (but not limited to) the following topics:
* Driver and passenger interaction with (semi-)autonomous vehicles
* Handover situations between drivers and automated cars
* User experience of autonomous driving (e.g., acceptance, trust and
driving fun)
* Novel user interface approaches including natural and gaze
interaction, subliminal information, and brain computer interfaces
* Driver information displays and how they differ from non-autonomous modes
* Experience studies with autonomous vehicles in the lab and in the field
* Study and evaluation methods for autonomous driving
* Entertainment for drivers and passengers in autonomous cars, as well
as gamification approaches
* Ethical issues of autonomous driving
The focus of the workshop is on brainstorming ideas to help define the
topic area and to foster a longer-lasting community. The workshop will
include position paper presentations as well as hands-on featuring
break-out sessions. The goal of the workshop to have a research agenda
for autonomous driving as well as innovative designs to tackle some of
the problems raising for HCI research.
Workshop candidates are invited to submit a position paper (4 pages in
the CHI extended abstract format) to the workshop organizer Alexander
Meschtscherjakov ([log in to unmask]). At least one
author must register for the workshop and the CHI conference.
