Abstract

The goal of this project is to explore smart devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, and smartglasses, to enable interactions with connected vehicles. To this end, we are interested in dedicated software architectures, technical performance of AR content consumption inside the vehicle, interaction techniques based on gesture input, and inside and outside-the-vehicle interactions.
