Towards an In-vehicle Sonically Enhanced Gesture Control Interface

In-vehicle touchscreens provide many modern conveniences. However, touchscreen use also increases crash risk. A new type of in-vehicle gesture system is needed to improve driving safety while maintaining infotainment functionality drivers have come to expect. We propose an in-vehicle sonically enhanced gesture control interface. Relevant literature is introduced and results from a pilot study are described, followed by a discussion of potential future work.
