visibility of available information channels. The Target button toggles a ‘target marker’ on the map which is used to specify a location for which nearby items are displayed. The marker can be moved anywhere on the map, allowing the user to re-query previews. The Marker/Link buttons allow the user to choose between the three information link modes – Google style markers, coloured markers and transparent arrows - that associate the preview with locations on the map. IN-CAR FIELD STUDY The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of the SafeTRIP Info Explorer in a naturalistic context in performing information search efficiently and effectively – with a view to assist the driver in finding certain services. The participants would meet two experimenters in the car park. The car was equipped with an in-car navigation application that was used to simply display the map and current location during the study. One experimenter was the driver and the other acted as the passenger in the back seat. All three car occupants created a ‘virtual friendship’ on a road trip. The experimenter drove the car around the city for two hours. The participant was encouraged to think-aloud throughout the session focusing on discussions about the information exploration and UI. The session ended with a brief questionnaire. Figure 6 - Participant using Tablet in the Car 16 participants (11 males and 5 females) aged between 19 and 46 were recruited through adverts on notice boards and mailing lists. Half of the participants owned a touchenabled smartphone, the other half had tried one. Four of the participants owned a tablet device, and all but one participant had tried one before. PRELIMINARY RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 12 participants used the map in the application to locate themselves, find location of places, estimate travel distances and assist the driver in terms of navigation. The rest focused on the information itself, leaving navigation entirely to the driver. All participants familiarized themselves very quickly with the information layout and tools – commenting that the preview items and the links to the map supported quick comparison of results, allowing them to make a selection – this was in spite of the layout being very different to a traditional search listing that they are familiar with. In addition, all participants reported that the linking strategy of coloured marker and transparent link was better compared to traditional Google-type markers. During the trial, some participants experienced issues with the positioning as the tablet used the inbuilt GPS sensor. It would be preferable for the application to use the car’s positioning system which seem to work better under similar conditions. The next version of SafeTRIP Info Explorer will use this approach. Structured information with short phrases (used for petrol station channel) as rich description was preferred over text description (used in hotel channel) – even if the later had more useful information. The majority of participants reported discomfort when reading text for a long time in the moving vehicle. CONCLUSION Smartphones have already invaded the vehicle; it is only a matter of time before tablets do. However, tablets are much more versatile and can bring a number of benefits to the occupants. As shown by this study, application developers targeting these devices should account for their potential in-car use. The UI design and interaction paradigms should lend themselves well to in-vehicle usage – such as the FMI approach for searching, exploring and visualization rich data, the Target for redirecting searches and linking strategies to minimize cognitive load to associate rich previews with map locations. The application itself should allow for personalization (e.g. choice of map provider) and be able to interact with other in-car systems (e.g. for positioning and communication) as well as other applications (e.g. pushing a new destination to the in-car navigation application from the tablet).
