Sammanfattning
The advent of more advanced vehicular sensor platforms, alongside the increase
in computing power, has lead to an upswing for companies working in the area
called sensor fusion. Proprietary algorithms utilise vast amounts of collected data
to make complex predictions otherwise too hard, or impossible, to detect. While
these wonderful possibilities exist, they are according to industry leaders currently
under-utilised. Among the difficulties of working with novel modality interactions,
limitations such as scope, time frame and the at-the-time societal COVID-19 restrictions,
are among the challenges faced by this thesis. Two things areas of focus in
this thesis, which are two suggested How-to:s - How to suitably utilise fused sensor
data going forward in automotive interaction design, and: How to measure what is
effective about such designs. These suggested How-to:s were the hypotheses, H1 and
H2, to the to the research questions. To validate the hypotheses, a design project
was held following their suggestions. Parallel to the designing, evaluations (both remote
and in-person) measuring task-load and usability indexes were run for potential
users, i.e. drivers. Results and discussions revealed that while the first hypothesis,
H1, was only validated indicatively, the thesis was successful in validating H2 - the
thesis providing a fine-tuned way of measuring positive and negative impacts of such
designs from early to late-stage prototypes. Furthermore, the knowledge acquired
in the preparation, the learnings from the process and the formative evaluations are
potentially valuable for any future work. The thesis also aimed to, and succeeded
with, contributing generated ideas and artefacts to the company this thesis was done
in collaboration with.
