DREAMs: Enhancing DriveR IntEraction with digital Media through cognitive monitoring

这项名为DREAMs（通过认知监测增强驾驶员与数字媒体的交互）的研究计划旨在开发一种先进的人机交互系统，该系统：(a)在日常生活环境中提供主动和无缝的支持，(b)利用智能传感器、多模态和数据聚合来实现增强技术使用的服务，以及(c)模拟用户行为，检测环境变化并相应地进行适应，以实现主动。

The research initiative entitled DREAMs (enhancing Driver inteRaction with digital mEdiA through cognitive Monitoring) aims to develop an advanced human-computer interaction system that: (a) provides pro-active and seamless support in daily life situations, (b) utilizes smart sensors, multi-modality, and data aggregation to enable services that enhance technology usage, and (c) models user behavior, detects changes in context and adapts accordingly to achieve pro-activeness. This project was motivated by a number of user-case scenarios developed by the industrial collaborators which were presented as key research problems to the applicants. A principal application within this initiative is the development of a novel driver evaluation and monitoring system which: a) continuously observes the driver's attention and cognitive state, b) provides real time adjustments, and c) enhances the overall driving experience by regulating media integration and in-car connectivity while enhancing driver safety. The proposal addresses key technical challenges within the context of the Information and Communications Technologies target area. The anticipated results are expected to provide a significant boost to the Canadian digital media and information communications technology (ICT) industries and create a positive impact to Canadian economy and society.
