CALL FOR PARTICIPATION [apologies for multiple copies] ***************************************************** 3rd Workshop on User Experience of Autonomous Driving at AutomotiveUI 2015 July 13: Submission deadline (1-4 pages ACM SIGCHI EA) July 27: Notification August 3: Camera ready version September 1: Workshop at AUI 2014 (1:30pm - 5:30pm) Workshop: https://projects.icts.sbg.ac.at/aui2015ws AutomotiveUI 2015: http://www.auto-ui.org/15 ***************************************************** SUMMARY AND THEME ================= User experience (UX) in autonomous vehicles has been a growing area of research in recent years. This workshop is the third in the series that started in 2013. This year the objective is to develop a ten-point plan of research goals the automotive UI community must solve in order to improve UX in Autonomous Driving (AD). This includes a discussion on how we can face upcoming challenges in designing UX for AD, as well as, how to shape the design space for UX in AD. The workshop will focus on the areas of methodological issues, human factors, entertainment, social driving, and novel user interface approaches. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== - Driver and passenger interaction with (semi-) autonomous vehicles - Driver situational awareness in autonomous vehicles - Handover situations between drivers and automated vehicles - User experience factors relevant for autonomous driving - Novel user interface approaches including natural and gaze interaction, subliminal information, and brain computer interfaces - Multimodal driver information displays and how they differ from non-autonomous modes - Increase of workload due to additional monitoring tasks of autonomous vehicles - Accessibility for elderly and people with impairments - Experience studies in the lab and in the field with autonomous vehicles - Study and evaluation methods for autonomous driving - Entertainment and learning for drivers and passengers in autonomous vehicles, as well as gamification approaches - Ethical issues of autonomous driving - Security issues of autonomous vehicles - Standardization among automakers - Interaction of autonomous vehicles with vulnerable road users (VRU’s) OUTCOMES ======== The outcome will be a community of people working in the area who have articulated a set of new research visions for the area of autonomous driving UX. Many of the authors already work together on projects and we expect the workshop to lead to further collaboration. Building on the results of the previous workshops this workshop will develop a ten-point plan of research goals the automotive UI community must solve in order to improve UX in Autonomous Driving (AD). This includes a discussion on how we can face upcoming challenges in designing UX for AD, as well as, how to shape the design space for UX in AD. Areas of focus include: methodological issues, human factors, entertainment, social driving, and novel user interface approaches. SUBMISSION FORMAT ================= Submit a position paper (1 to 4 pages ACM SIGCHI extended abstract (EA) format) to appear in the conference online proceedings.
