Abstract

A wearable, integrated wireless multimedia interface (WMI) for controlling in-vehicle telematics devices was developed in a Glove-typed interface using all the fingertips of both hands. The glove-based interface works for selection and control of devices using mode conversion of the respective keymaps. The chording gloves also work as a numeric keypad for mobile phones. To minimize finger force and fatigue from repeated finger tapping to the driving wheel, keys were made of conductible silicon ink. User evaluation on the WMI was positive with just a couple of hours of practice. The integrated wearable multimedia interface would play an important role in providing drivers with safety while driving.
