ABSTRACT
In this paper, we investigate user performance for stereoscopic automotive user interfaces (UI). Our work is motivated by the fact that stereoscopic displays are about to find their way into cars. Such a safety-critical application area creates an inherent need to understand how the use of stereoscopic 3D visualizations impacts user performance. We conducted a comprehensive study with 56 participants to investigate the impact of a 3D instrument cluster (IC) on primary and secondary task performance. We investigated different visualizations (2D and 3D) and complexities (low vs. high amount of details) of the IC as well as two 3D display technologies (shutter vs. autostereoscopy). As secondary tasks the participants judged spatial relations between UI elements (expected events) and reacted on pop-up instructions (unexpected events) in the IC. The results show that stereoscopy increases accuracy for expected events, decreases task completion times for unexpected tasks, and increases the attractiveness of the interface. Furthermore, we found a significant influence of the used technology, indicating that secondary task performance improves for shutter displays.
