Writing to Your Car: Handwritten Text Input While Driving. For
in-car navigation, information and entertainment systems, text
input is increasingly important. We investigate handwriting as a
text input modality and assess where to best position the input
surface and how to provide feedback. For this purpose, we
created different prototypes that allow text input on the
steering wheel and in the central console, as well as visual
feedback on the input surface and on the dashboard. The results
of the study indicate that handwritten text input on the
steering wheel is wellreceived by the users and that the visual
feedback should be presented in the dashboard area or on the
steering wheel. We also observed that the number of corrective
actions and the remaining errors were significantly smaller (25%
less) on the steering wheel than in the central console and that
entering text while driving made people drive slower. Dieser
