"IAnova" project is about developing spatial gesture interface in vehicles. The idea first emerged around last autumn, as competing the BMW "Project J" contest, where I was in a team of three. We won the championship for our design's unique value for the future of automotive industry. The fundamentals and the reasons why the spatial gestural interface is superior to the conventional types were explained in this stage. After submiVing our design, I decided to push it forward, thus I sought Prof. Patrick Rau for advice. And then under Prof. Pilsung Choe's kind guidance, I finished a preliminary study that explained the design in detail and found several users' preference via an experiment. A paper for this stage was accepted by HCI International 2013 conference. I was invited to the conference and gave a presentation for the paper this summer in Las Vegas. After the publication, I took a step even further -- designed a model evaluating the applicability of applying gesture interface for each driving functions, and a standard spatial gesture set ollowing
UCD method. The achievement of this stage was a turning point of this idea from sketchon-paper to a real product. And I'm still seeking opportunities to further develop this project, to a real product and truly bring smoother user experience for drivers.
