Abstract

Car manufacturers introduced a variety of non-driving-related features to enhance the trip experience for drivers and passengers. However, using an in-vehicle infotainment system (IVIS) can be mentally demanding and cause driver distraction. In addition, the usage of an IVIS is often restricted to front-seat passengers, which limits the possibility of assisting the driver. To address these problems, we demonstrate InShift, an initial concept to foster co-driver participation. It presents a physical interaction concept that allows delegating selected (e.g., highly mentally demanding) IVIS functions towards the front-seat passenger. Based on the functions the driver wants to delegate, the IVIS touchscreen moves towards the co-driver to provide easier access. Results from a pilot study (N = 8) suggest that InShift offers a positive user experience for drivers and co-drivers. The qualitative feedback reveals that InShift supports driver-passenger collaboration and allows the co-driver to be a better assistant.
