Automotive User Interfaces

Content

The development of user interfaces for vehicles is one of the most challenging areas in human-computer interaction, which is subject to a strong change, especially by current developments (autonomous driving, digitization and electric mobility). After successful participation in the module, the students have a structured understanding of the basic concepts, theories, methods, technologies and tools for the design, development and evaluation of automotive user interfaces. The contents conveyed here are interdisciplinary and both application-oriented and research-oriented. They are based on findings from psychology, computer science, design, engineering sciences and ethics.

Intelligent Mobile Human-Computer Interaction

In this course, students acquire detailed knowledge of current research areas in intelligent mobile human-computer interaction and wearable user interfaces. They will be able to describe the challenges and problems in existing mobile and wearable intelligent interaction concepts and discuss the potentials - arising from technological progress - with the help of which mobile and wearable interactions can be further developed.

An important aspect of mobile and wearable user interfaces is intelligent adaptation based on multidimensional usage data, dynamic sensor data and flexible context situations. Through the use of corresponding approaches from the fields of artificial intelligence, optimisation and the definition of multidimensional objective functions, more and more intelligent user interfaces are being researched and this takes up a central space in the course.

The students are familiar with the paradigm shift taking place in mobile and portable input and output and know  

  • the concepts for designing intelligent user interfaces
  • the technical characteristics of mobile and portable devices
  • elementary intelligent user interactions with the mobile and wearable devices
  • design- and AI-driven optimisation of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction when interacting with mobile and wearable devices
  • novel application areas and the design & development of intelligent interactive mobile and wearable services
  • current research trends in mobile and wearable human-computer interaction.

Students will be able to discuss current research in areas such as intelligent user interfaces, haptic feedback, audio and voice interaction, shape-shifting mobile devices, mobile eye tracking, touch and text input, AR/VR/MR, and wearables. They can discuss, classify and differentiate between these. Furthermore, they can identify further research questions and explain recurring basic concepts or basic problems. Through the exercise, students deepen the theoretical aspects and gain practical knowledge in the area of programming intelligent mobile and wearable devices with a focus on mobile and wearable human-computer interaction, the use of sensor data, interaction design, and intelligent user interface adaptations.

Interactive Computer Graphics

The course covers the basic concepts of computer graphics, with an emphasis on real-time capable graphics such as those used in computer games. The focus is on the rendering pipeline as the conceptual basis for modern image synthesis systems. The algorithms discussed are first dealt with theoretically in the lecture before a selection is put into practice in the exercises. The practical implementation takes place in C/C++ in combination with the OpenGL graphics standard, with an introduction to C/C++ being given at the beginning of the exercises. The course covers the following topics:

  • Graphics programming in OpenGL
  • Geometric transformations and projections
  • Rasterization and texturing
  • Visibility determination
  • Lighting calculation
  • Clipping algorithms
  • Ray tracing
