4th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces
and Interactive Vehicular Applications (AutomotiveUI’12)
October 17-19, 2012, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA
NEW: in-cooperation with ACM SIGCHI approved!
Paper submission deadline: June 11, 23:59 PST (extended)
Conference website: http://www.auto-ui.org
AutomotiveUI, the International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, is the premier forum for UI research in the automotive domain. AutomotiveUI brings together researchers and practitioners interested in both the technical and the human aspects of in-vehicle user interfaces and applications. AutomotiveUI’12 will investigate novel in-vehicle services, issues related to driver distraction, approaches to improving driver performance, and the varying needs of different user groups. In addition AutomotiveUI’12 will explore the relationship between these topics and automotive user interface standards.
TOPICS
AutomotiveUI’12 invites you to submit original work in one or more of the following formats: full and short papers, workshops, posters, interactive demonstrations, and industrial show-cases. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- New concepts for in-car user interfaces (multi modal, speech, audio, gestural, natural I/O)
- Text input and output while driving
- Interfaces to control in-car entertainment
- Evaluation and benchmarking of in-car user interfaces
- Assistive technology in the vehicular context
- Methods and tools for automotive user interface research
- Automotive user interface frameworks and toolkits
