WoZ Way

Abstract

Interaction designers often have difficulty understanding people's real-world experiences with ubiquitous systems. The automobile is a great example of these challenges, where on-road testing is time-consuming and provides little ability for rapid prototyping of interface behavior. In this demonstration, we show WoZ Way, a system to connect remote designers and researchers. During this demonstration, people will have the opportunity to "ride along" with a driver on the road while observing the drive, interacting through a machine speech system, viewing live car data, and controlling an in-car interface prototype.
