Comparison of in-car touchpads with adaptive haptic feedback

Two in-car touchpads with adaptive haptic feedback are specified in the context of this contribution. These innovative control elements enable an easy and intuitive handling of modern car infotainment systems. The current paper presents the results of a field experiment comparing a touchpad with realistic haptic feedback via sensible and operable elements to a touchpad with haptic feedback via vibration of the touchpad surface in a real driving situation.
