HMI: Future electronics use all senses for intuitive human-machine-interaction
Innovative technologies are not of much use if the interface to the human user is not intuitively designed. That is why AUDIO MOBIL works on intelligent HMI
HMI
HMI is the abbreviation of human-machine-interaction. Firstly, this means that the human must be able to easily communicate with and control the machine. Secondly, this means that the machine must react to the user and reply with signals which are easy to understand and process by the user. components in its HMI research laboratory
HMI research laboratory
In the scope of the HMI research laboratory, AUDIO MOBIL deals with all aspects of human-machine-interaction. But not only technical aspects are considered: psychological and socio-scientific factors are also taken into account. Experts from various specialist areas cooperate to achieve a holistic understanding of the context “automobile”. to create a bridge between human and machine.
Humanizing technology is the only way that leads to its acceptance. AUDIO MOBIL deems it very important to simplify the usage of a machine for the human in times of complex systems and huge amounts of information. The human must be able to communicate intuitively with the machine via interfaces and signals. Apart from visualization and audio signals, AUDIO MOBIL works with haptics
haptics
The term haptics denotes the human’s sense of touch. Form, surface, textures and weight of an object are captured with the sense of touch. The skin as the body’s largest organ is the primary transmitter of haptic information., smell, tone of voice and mimic within the scope of the AUDIO MOBIL HMI research laboratory. The human is always first.
HMI is more than just technology
HMI is an interdisciplinary research field building on insights from programming, graphics and electronics as well as communication, sociology and linguistics
linguistics
Linguistics is a term for the scientific study of natural languages.. With its innovative HMI components, AUDIO MOBIL revolutionizes driving experience for the driver, co-driver and the passengers. AUDIO MOBIL has already taken important steps in this direction: For example with the intelligent steering wheel. It is equipped with fascinating electronic controls and works with the driver’s intuition.
Cooperation with research facilities
Within AUDIO MOBIL’s HMI research laboratory, future HMI components are researched in cooperation with various research institutes. The University of Salzburg’s scientific know-how is connected with AUDIO MOBIL’s experience and knowledge of the automotive industry. Thus, innovative and well-grounded solutions for the driver assistance of tomorrow are created.
