Session

Redefining Vehicle Interaction Through Exterior HMI Using Gesture, Voice & Light

Case Study

Monday, June 22

09:00 am - 09:30 am

Live in Berlin

Less Details

This presentation explores how gesture and voice control, integrated with exterior lighting, can enable intuitive, touchless interaction with vehicles for access, communication, and personalization. By extending HMI beyond the cabin, we reveal new opportunities to enhance safety, accessibility, and user experience through multimodal exterior interfaces.

Key insights you will hear about:

  • Use cases for gesture and voice-triggered light signals for access, greeting, and remote commands with feedback-light
  • How light-based feedback enables safe, touchless interaction with AVs and connected vehicles
  • Integration challenges and design considerations
  • The role of exterior HMI in accessibility, pedestrian communication, and brand experience
