Build Your Own Genie and Jarvis: 2nd Workshop on Characteristics and Design Considerations of In-Vehicle Intelligent Agents

Abstract

Intelligent agents (IAs) have become popular with the development of artificial intelligence technologies. In-vehicle intelligent agent (IVIA), a specialized version of IAs in a vehicle context, is also notable. However, it is hard to well-define user needs and requirements and translate them into actual design features because many factors (user characteristics, task types, road conditions, etc.) are complicated to consider. In this vein, to make a better understanding of the topic, the purposes of this workshop are: 1) to integrate a list of design variables and characteristics of IVIAs, 2) to develop IVIA prototypes especially considering factors of appearances and voices, and 3) to investigate user preferences towards IVIA prototypes under different user scenarios. Through the user-involved design activities, we will seek to contribute the design of IVIAs. © 2022 Owner/Author.
