TLDR
A car navigation system that displays turn-by-turn instructions using a vibro-tactile waist belt aims to avoid the cognitive load that most car navigation systems place on drivers.Citations

Indoor location based services challenges, requirements and usability of current solutions
Anahid Basiri,Elena Simona Lohan,Terry Moore,Adam C. Winstanley,Pekka Peltola,Chris Hill,Pouria Amirian,Pedro Figueiredo e Silva +7 more
TL;DR: This paper studies the requirements of LBS applications, through a survey conducted by the authors, identifies the current challenges of indoor LBS, and reviews the available solutions that address the most important challenge, that of providing seamless indoor/outdoor positioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Research Issues in Smart Vehicles and Elderly Drivers: A Literature Review
TL;DR: HCI/HFE researchers need to focus on research on acceptable levels of automation, observing new driving behaviors, investigation of driver characteristics to develop personalized services, and new technology acceptance to develop and improve smart cars in the future.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Delivering directional haptic cues through eyeglasses and a seat
TL;DR: The paper suggests that haptic eyeglasses can decrease cognitive demand in navigation and have many possible applications and is evaluated as less frustrating than visual cueing.

Spatial decision dynamics during wayfinding: intersections prompt the decision-making process
Tad T. Brunyé,Tad T. Brunyé,Aaron L. Gardony,Aaron L. Gardony,Amanda Holmes,Amanda Holmes,Holly A. Taylor +6 more
TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided that deciding whether to continue straight or turn involves a dynamic, distributed decision-making process that is prompted by upcoming intersections and modulated by individual differences and environmental experience.

Haptic language through a steering mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the steering mechanism of a vehicle can include multiple actuators along or in a surface a vehicle operator touches to steer the vehicle, and different numbers of actuators can be actuated under an operator's hand to communicate the severity of an upcoming turn.

Tactons: Structured Tactile Messages for Non-Visual Information Display
Stephen Brewster,Lorna M. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new form of tactile output, called tactile icons, which can be used to communicate messages non-visually, and describe the parameters used to construct them and some possible ways to design them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waypoint navigation with a vibrotactile waist belt
TL;DR: The results show that mapping waypoint direction on the location of vibration is an effective coding scheme that requires no training, but that coding for distance does not improve performance compared to a control condition with no distance information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using spatial vibrotactile cues to direct visual attention in driving scenes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the potential use of vibrotactile warning signals to present spatial information to car drivers, and investigate whether speeded responses to potential emergency driving situations could be facilitated by the presentation of spatially-predictive (80% valid, Experiment 1) or spatially non-probability-based warning signals.

Tactile wayfinder: a non-visual support system for wayfinding
TL;DR: A belt with vibrators that indicates directions and deviations from the path in an accurate and unobtrusive way is designed that shows that wayfinding support is possible with the Tactile Wayfinder.
Journal ArticleDOI
An instrumentation solution for reducing spatial disorientation mishaps
TL;DR: The Tactical Situation Awareness System (TSAS) is an array of tactile stimulators arranged in columns and rows on a garment that a pilot wears on the torso and limbs that provides intuitive orientation information to aircrew and operators of remote platforms and is more compatible with a pilot's natural sensory system.
