M. Tönnis The Tangible Car - Rapid Intuitive Traffic Scenario Generation in a Hybrid Table-top and Virtual Environment The Fourth International Workshop on the Tangible Space Initiative in conjuntion with the Sixth IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality, Nara, Japan, Nov. 13 - 16, 2007.

Driving simulators are still a worthful environment in the development cycle of in-vehicle information systems. In general, traffic scenarios are somehow artificial or depend on a certain application logic controlling foreign cars relative to the own car. To generate traffic scenarios with more human behavior content, an intuitive system to enable traffic scenario development for user study subjects has been developed. The system uses a tangible miniature car in a table-top environment that is connected to a drinving simulator. This system enables analysis of human behavior to facilitate the development of semi-automated and especially driver accepted incar assistance systems. System architecture and experiences from monitoring people using the system while generating traffic scenarios are reported.
