This project looked at designing a heads up display to reduce cell phone use while driving by providing on screen information.  We started by looking into what activities people mostly performed while driving by using a survey, in order to see which we could prevent, or make more safe.

We explored various hands free, gestural options and wearables to command the interface, but using a driving simulator, determined these could actually be more distracting or dangerous.

After further testing, we determined that a small steering wheel attachment with a touch screen and a few command functions was the most beneficial option. Using the driving simulator with a prototype heads up display and control, we tested users and found our device reduced the rate of collision while performing tasks like texting, and replying to phone calls by at least 50%.
