June 4-5, 2025, Graz Austria

A multidisciplinary user-centered approach to guide the development of trustworthy technologies toward a safe, enjoyable, and sustainable society.

What is FLUID?

Fluid started as interaction concept for in-vehicle Human-Machine Interfaces that let information “flow” across devices and medium, support the “immersed” user, and fill all the interaction "gaps".

Fluid has become the metaphor underpinning natural and fulfilling interactions between users and technological systems.

Fluid applies now to adaptive human-machine interfaces, flexible and reliable services, human-like AI agents, emotionally supportive environments, and much more!

Fluid Interaction is:

Adaptive

based on monitored data from user, system & environment

Simple and intuitive

reduced learning efforts

Natural

supporting multi-sensory interaction

Anywhere, anytime

running in the background, but prompt on demand

Topics

Automotive

– The role of interfaces in vehicle safety: new assessment standards

– Driver engagement and distraction: implications for safety, HMI development and validation

– Objectivation of interior experience: engineering tools for UI benchmarking and validation

– Design for emotion: the added value of the wow effect

Mobility

Mobility as a Service: the challenges of rural environments to efficiently serve remote communities

Human Oversight: Implications for mobility

Healthcare

Social Robotics in Healthcare: uncanny valley or acceptable progress?

Gamification in health and human factors: challenges and potentials
