Multimodal Contextual Car-Driver Interface

This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a Companion Contextual Car Driver interface that proactively assists the driver in managing information and communication. The prototype combines a smart car environment and driver state monitoring, incorporating a wide range of input-output modalities and a display hierarchy. Intelligent agents link information from many contexts, such as location and schedule, and transparently learn from the driver, interacting with the driver only when it is necessary.
