Abstract
Touchless interaction with electronic devices using gestures is gaining popularity and along with speech-based communication offers their users natural and intuitive control methods. Now, these interaction modes go beyond the entertainment industry and are successfully applied in real-life scenarios such as a car interior. In the paper, we analyse the potential of hand gesture interaction in the vehicle environment by physically challenged drivers. A survey conducted with potential users shows that the knowledge of gesture-based interaction and its practical use by people with disabilities is low. Based on these results we proposed a gesture-based system for vehicle on-board system. It has been developed on the available state-of-the-art solutions and investigated in terms of usability on a group of people with different physical limitations who drive a car on daily basis mostly using steering aid tools. The obtained results are compared with the performance of users without any disabilities.
Highlights
Natural Interfaces allow human-device interaction through the translation of human intention into devices’ control commands, analyzing the user’s gestures, body movements or speech
This interaction mode arises from advancements of expert systems, artificial intelligence, gesture and speech recognition, dialog systems, semantic web, and natural language processing, bringing the concept of Intelligent
More and more often such solutions appear in novel cars and their task is to support drivers in the process of using the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) [1,2,3,4], including systems for detecting drivers’ fatigue [5,6] and mobile applications for traffic improvement [7]
Summary
Natural Interfaces allow human-device interaction through the translation of human intention into devices’ control commands, analyzing the user’s gestures, body movements or speech. This interaction mode arises from advancements of expert systems, artificial intelligence, gesture and speech recognition, dialog systems, semantic web, and natural language processing, bringing the concept of Intelligent. When a driver is listening to the radio or is travelling through a noisy surrounding the voice operated interface will inevitable fail. In many cases both hands are used simultaneously for maneuvering (steering wheel handling and gear shifting) and it is impossible to perform additional gestures
