    Accessible Automated Automotive Workshop Series (A3WS): Focus External Human-Machine Interfaces (eHMIs)
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Haimerl, Mathias; Colley, Mark; Löcken, Andreas; Riener, Andreas
    With modernizing traffic, a rise of automated vehicles (AVs) is expected. As AVs potentially need to communicate their intentions, external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) seem to be an appropriate solution. While automotive research progresses quickly, people with special needs (PSN) are vastly underrepresented. With an aging population due to demographic changes and advances in medical treatments and with the stride towards equality and accessibility, the needs of these groups also have to be considered in the automotive domain. We provide an inclusive platform for interdisciplinary exchange on current and future topics, especially for academia, industry, and politics. This enables different perspectives with particular (but not exclusive) regard to user experience (UX) and psychology, product design, legislative concerns and, thus, support the communication and potentially founding of new topic streams. The aim is to create new interdisciplinary networks and collaborations to make future developments on vehicle-to-human (V2H) communication more inclusive.

    Deriving Non-Driving-Related Activities in Highly Automated Driving via an Autoethnographic Approach by Traveling Canada in a Recreational Vehicle
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Stampf, Annika; Colley, Mark
    Automated vehicles will alter traffic fundamentally. Users can engage in various activities, such as working, reading, or sleeping. However, based on these activities, there are challenges and opportunities to adapt the vehicle, possibly transforming these into “tiny houses”. Some activities will most likely be conducted, especially those already undertaken, such as making phone calls or listening to music. However, there are limited possibilities to derive activities occurring in longer trips or with a high level of automation. Therefore, we propose to derive non-driving-related activities based on a 12-day trip in a camper as a surrogate for prolonged exposure to automated driving. We report the autoethnographic results of our experiences and deduce relevant future research questions. We highlight the possibility of employing Vanlife as a method to study these upcoming challenges.

    UnitEye: Introducing a User-Friendly Plugin to Democratize Eye Tracking Technology in Unity Environments
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Wagner, Tobias; Colley, Mark; Breckel, Daniel; Kösel, Michael; Rukzio, Enrico
    Eye tracking is a powerful tool for analyzing visual attention, as an input technique, or for diagnosing disorders. However, eye tracking hardware is expensive and not accessible to everyone, thus, considerably limiting real-world usage or at-home evaluations. Although webcam-based eye tracking is feasible due to advances in computer vision, its open-source implementation as an easy-to-use tool is lacking. We implemented UnitEye, a Unity plugin enabling eye tracking on desktop and laptop computers. In a technical evaluation (N=12), we tested the precision and accuracy of our system compared to a state-of-the-art eye tracker. We also evaluated the usability of UnitEye with N=5 developers. The results confirm that our system provides reliable eye tracking performance for a webcam-based system and well-integrated features contributing to ease of use.
