    Advancing In-vehicle Gesture Interactions with Adaptive Hand-Recognition and Auditory Displays

    Competition for visual attention in vehicles has increased with the integration of touch-based interfaces, which has led to an increased crash risk. To mitigate this visual distraction, we designed an in-vehicle gesture-based menu system with different auditory feedback types and hand-recognition systems. We are conducting an experiment using a driving simulator where the participant performs a secondary task of selecting a menu item. Three auditory feedback types are tested in addition to the baseline condition (no audio): auditory icons, earcons, and spearcons. For each type of auditory display, two hand-recognition systems are tested: fixed and adaptive. We expect we can reduce the driver's secondary task workload, while minimizing off-road glances for safety. Our experiment would contribute to the existing literature in multimodal signal processing, confirming the Multiple Resource Theory. It would also present practical design guidelines for auditory-feedback for gesture-based in-vehicle interactions.
