In-vehicle systems research is becoming a significant field as the market for in-vehicle systems continue to grow. As a consequence, researchers are increasingly concerned with opportunities and limitations of HCI in a moving vehicle. Especially aspects of attention constitute a challenge for in-vehicle systems development. This paper seeks to remedy this by defining and exemplifying attention ...

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. Advances in automation are making it possible for a single operator to control multiple unmanned vehicles (UVs). However, the complex nature of these teams presents a difficult and exciting challenge for designers of human-UV systems. To build such systems effectively , models ...

This paper describes the unmanned underwater remotely operated vehicle (UROV) THETIS, an easy to operate vehicle suitable for exploiting water environments. The subsystems composing our system, as compared to conventional ROVs, are discussed and evaluated. The vehicle’s primary use, at the present stage of development, is to perform underwater observations as well as temperature, pH/dissolved O...

Automobile manufacturers are making information systems available in all vehicles. Most systems are screen based, but increasingly systems are either hybrids (screen/speech) or speech based. Speech systems in vehicles may have advantages over screen based in-vehicle systems; literature suggests that speech can be less distracting than screen-based interactions. Nonetheless, using speech systems...

Bioinformatics is an emerging field of science emphasizing the application of mathematics, statistics, and informatics to study and analysis of very large molecular biological (mostly, genetic and genomic) systems (data sets). In a comparatively broader setup of large biological systems without necessarily having a predominant genetic undercurrent, and having genesis in biometry to biostatistic...
