Our goal is to ideate concrete actions, establish connections, and build cooperations.
Previous events have identified the following key topics to be investigated:
- Non-driving related tasks (which office tasks are suitable for the restricted environment in vehicles, and howshould interfaces be designed to support productivity while maintaining safety?),
- Technologies (which particular technologies could be used to support work in vehicles, given the restrictions of the levels of automation?),
- Ergonomics (what are the requirements for vehicle interiors to support office work?), Evaluation Methods (how can existing results from desktop environments be transferred to the new setting, and which qualitative/quantitative methods can be used to assess the applicability of elaborated interfaces?),
- Well-Being (how do we also account for necessary relaxation options?), and
- Interdisciplinarity (what are the most important domains to be considered in design?).
Objectives
The workshop builds upon these topics by:
- Elaborating concrete “user stories” on how working in future vehicles (considering suitable tasks, technologies, ergonomic constraints, as well as the levels of automation) could look like.
- Translating these user stories into experimental designs that allow a comparative evaluation.
- Providing interested researchers and practitioners a forum to connect and establish future cooperation.
