Touch interfaces are replacing physical buttons, dials, and switches in the new generation of cars, aircraft, and vessels. However, vehicle vibrations and accelerations perturb finger movements and cause erroneous touchscreen inputs by users. Furthermore, unlike physical buttons, touchscreens cannot be operated by touch alone and always require users' visual focus. Hence, despite their numerous benefits, touchscreens are not inherently suited for use in vehicles, which results in an increased risk of accidents. In a recently awarded research project titled "Right Touch Right Time: Future In-vehicle Touchscreens (FITS)", we aim to address these problems by developing novel in-vehicle touchscreens that actively predict and correct perturbed finger movements and simulate physical touch interactions with artificial tactile feedback.
