Abstract

This project investigates gestures instead of a dashboard for secondary tasks in cars. Driving tasks were performed using a simulator to measure differences in performance using gestures as controls while driving. No relation between driving safety and the chosen input modality was found. However, drivers using gestures spent significantly more time looking at the road than those using a dashboard, which might indicate that drivers are more likely to correctly respond to unforeseen circumstances.
