THE HAPTIC DRIVE
The Haptic Drive augments touch-screens with haptic feedback for a safer driving experience.
The aim of this project was to make driving a safer experience, while embracing the flexibility of touch-screens and expanding upon it. The concept which emerged form the design process allows the driver to operate the most common functions in the car without having to look at the screen. The specific kinds of haptic feedback were chosen to mimic physical properties of the settings that they represent. This way the driver is able to operate the functions without having to learn them first. All of those functions have been implemented and tested in a fully functional prototype.
