Abstract
Bilistens opgave i dag er meget anderledes end for 100 år siden. Dengang bestod det meste af den mentale belastning i at styre bilen manuelt. I dag har automatiske systemer overtaget mange af de løbende justeringer, og kørsel opfattes derfor ofte som tid, der kunne bruges på andre aktiviteter. Som følge heraf fyldes biler med flere informations- og kommunikationsenheder. Denne rapport er udarbejdet som led i det internationale POLE Consenses-projekt med en opgave stillet af virksomheden Continental. Forfatteren har samarbejdet med fem andre deltagere i en tværfaglig og interkulturel gruppe, blandt andet gennem et ideationsforløb i Guadalajara, Mexico. Studiet undersøger: Hvilken effekt har det på komforten ved brug af smartphone under kørsel, hvis den betjenes via en Head-Up Display (HUD) i stedet for som en traditionel håndholdt smartphone? En HUD er en gennemsigtig skærm, der projicerer information i førerens synsfelt, så man kan holde øjnene på vejen. Der er udviklet en prototype til HUD-baseret smartphoneinteraktion, og et forsøg er designet til at evaluere den. Selve testen gennemføres i Schweiz. Denne rapport beskriver kun forsøgsdesignet og indeholder ingen resultater. Resultater og konklusion vil blive offentliggjort i et supplement, når testene i Schweiz er afsluttet.
The driver’s role today is very different from 100 years ago. Back then, most mental effort went into manual vehicle control. Now, automated systems handle many ongoing adjustments, and driving time is often seen as time that could be used for other tasks. As a result, cars are increasingly equipped with information and communication devices. This report is part of the international POLE Consenses project, based on a brief from the company Continental. The author worked with five teammates in an intercultural, interdisciplinary group, including an ideation phase in Guadalajara, Mexico. The study asks: What is the effect on the comfortable use of a smartphone while driving if it is accessed through a Head-Up Display (HUD), rather than as a traditional handheld smartphone? A HUD is a transparent display that projects information into the driver’s field of view, allowing eyes to stay on the road. The team built a prototype for HUD-based smartphone interaction and designed an experiment to evaluate it. The test will be conducted in Switzerland. This report presents the experiment design only and includes no results. Results and conclusions will be published in a complementary paper after the Swiss testing is completed.
