Evaluating the Usability of a Head-Up Display While Driving a Vehicle

This study highlights issues concerning the visual and tactile ergonomic comfort inside a vehicle, specifically in a human-technology system. Therefore, we evaluated a HUD in an imported vehicle sold in Juiz de Fora (Brazil), analyzing the pros and cons for users, who tend to show increased use of their spatial perception, which may alter their visual perception. Moreover, this study covers the symbolic as well as the technological evolution of motor vehicles in Brazil. Based on literature review, documentary analysis and a case study, this work reflected upon the technology available in Brazil in a vehicle with a factory-installed HUD.
