Evolution from ergonomics to signature HMIS

Abstract

Voice will play an important part of a multimodal HMI solution for inputting information or for cutting through layers on the menus by requesting a function directly. Traditional voice control was centred on a set of fixed commands with catatonic responses which required some level of driver training before the system was effective. With the advent of new low powered high performance micro processors, as found in the Visteon next generation infotainment platform natural voice command engines are now becoming a reality. Visteon describes the technologies which are necessary for this though as market research and knowing the customer needs.
