Abstract

We describe applications that implement interactions between the driver and their smart vehicle in a continuous interaction space characterized by the physical distance to the vehicle and by the smart devices that implement those interactions. Specifically, we demonstrate the principles of smart vehicle proxemics with smart rings, smartwatches, smartphones, and other devices employed to interact with the in-vehicle infotainment system while the driver traverses five distinctly identifiable zones, from inside the vehicle to the personal, proximal, distant, and covert zone outside the vehicle. We present engineering details of our applications that capitalize on standardized web technology (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), communication protocols (WebSocket), and data formats (JSON) and, thus, enable straightforward extension to accommodate other smart devices for new interactions with smart vehicles. We also point to future opportunities for designing interactions from a distance and function of the distance between the driver and their vehicle.
