I've spent the last few years working on a visually skinnable web interface framework for our suite of simulators and on-road research vehicles. The system uses normal web browsers and websockets to create system-agnostic real-time HMI for research gathering of participant data and diagnostic uses. The system can be adapted to a large array of inputs over many individual, low-cost client devices. Inputs include multipoint touch, gesture, speech recognition, or any number of other external inputs. All interactions can then be logged for later review. For our on-road vehicles, the system has been used to create a in-vehicle engineering display, showing real-time output from various sensors on an automated vehicle. It has also been used for demos for the Iowa DOT regarding alerts to slow-moving vehicles. Although we've been using it for a few years now internally at NADS, it has recently been released to other researchers around the country, who are using and customizing it for use with their NADS miniSim simulators. It's been a great joy to help create something here at the University that can help move the needle for both simulation and driving research, and to be able to help others use the framework to match their research needs.
