How to Make It Usable? Haptics.
- Without standard keyboard and mouse, to make navigation through multiple levels of information and entertainment usable requires haptics:
Recent research compares a mechanical keyboard to use of touchscreens both with and without haptic feedback. Findings show that the mechanical keyboard had the highest performance, and with haptic feedback, touchscreen user performance improved both in accuracy and time to enter a phrase. On a moving subway train, users were approximately 22% more accurate and 19% faster with a haptic-enabled touchscreen. Mental demand, physical demand, frustration, and annoyance levels were significantly reduced with haptic feedback. - Should there be new innovations in displays and controls to address infotainment needs, Immersion has, today, complete and easy-to-integrate haptic systems to improve their usability for a better automotive user experience.
