Description

In order to test our proposed (touch-less) interactions against the current (physical) ones, we are going to perform a user study which will measure the effectiveness of the fore mentioned interactions. A group of users will test our natural interactions in different scenarios. Live data gathered via direct observation will be analyzed, a questionnaire and an individual interview will follow.

Goals

  • Analyze the naturalness of the proposed interactions
  • Analyze the robustness of the whole concept
  • Compare the parameters like distraction time, and reaction time of theĀ proposed natural interaction method against the current method (using physical buttons)

Results from User Study questionnaire

 

Baseline comparison
NUI : Natural user interaction ( gestures + voice )
UNUI: Un-natural interaction ( buttons in steering wheel, cockpit)

User data
Number of subjects: 14
Training time : 4 minutes (each method)
Testing time : 4 minutes (each method)
Experience in driving: 12
Experience with motion devices: 9
In-game analysis
Collision:

  • UNUI causes two times more collisionĀ 
  • NUI is safer while driving

Distraction time:

  • NUI is 3 times less distractive
  • Multiple modalities are more distractive

False positives:

  • UNUI is twice more prone to errors

Interview

  • 60 % people preferred NUI and 40 % prefer UNUI
  • Idea is innovative, enjoyable, but needs more robustnessĀ 
  • Cognitive load is reduced considerably
