InCarAR: A Design Space Towards 3D Augmented Reality Applications in Vehicles
Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, September 2019, Utrecht, Netherlands; (bib)

Advances in vehicle automation and the resulting change of the interior of cars lead to new challenges for user interface concepts. Augmented reality (AR) is a promising solution for the emerging design needs due to its diverse opportunities for user interaction and presenting information. This paper supports the development of novel AR applications. We describe a corresponding use case set consisting of 98 examples from a literature review and two focus groups. Based on these samples we present a design space for in-car AR applications. To demonstrate the benefit thereof, we show a fictional design process including our proposed design space to derive a custom AR system. This work supports designers and engineers by providing a systematic approach for integrating 3D AR interfaces in a vehicle, excluding windshields and windows.
