In-vehicle infotainment system for android OS: User experience challenges and a proposal

Safety issues are major part of any vehicle design, which has not bypassed user interface for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system. Complex menus with hard to sense buttons can take a driver´s focus off the road. We discussed possible design challenges through safety issues. With pilot study we illustrated potential design disadvantage through simple analysis of eye focus and proposed a car interface design for IVI with one or two touches and swipes in an easy-to-find-spot.
