Abstract

Automobile instrument clusters and infotainment systems are commonly used and prominent in modern cars and trucks. Thus, the design of these systems and their usability can significantly affect driving performance and satisfaction. This study demonstrates how biometric sensor methods can be used to assess such usability. Specifically, the study examines users' visual attention and affective states in response to instrumentation in two hybrid cars. The study combines eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and electroencephalography (EEG) data to investigate how these two cluster and infotainment designs (a) capture visual attention; (b) potentially inspire engagement, frustration and confusion; and (c) impact users' perception of ease of use.
