Bring Your Own Interface: Exploring Tactile Interaction in Maritime Automation

For centuries, seafarers have developed an intuitive relationship with their vessels, reading the wind and feeling a ship’s movement through embodied engagement. However, as maritime systems become more automated, this connection shifts toward abstract, screen-based controls. In a collaborative workshop, participants will prototype interaction ideas that balance automation and human control through simulated maritime tasks. They will develop tactile and multimodal interface concepts and test their effectiveness in a simulator for situational awareness and decision-making in dynamic environments. The workshop’s three key outcomes are: (1) Insights into Tactile Interfaces – Participants will explore physical controls and their importance in safety-critical tasks. (2) Simulation-Based Evaluation –The workshop will explore the use of simulation as an evaluation method for interface prototypes. (3) Research Community Development – It will foster collaboration among researchers beyond the workshop by creating communication channels such as Discord.

Abstract

For centuries, seafarers have developed an intuitive relationship with their vessels, reading the wind and feeling a ship’s movement through embodied engagement. However, as maritime systems become more automated, this connection shifts toward abstract, screen-based controls. In a collaborative workshop, participants will prototype interaction ideas that balance automation and human control through simulated maritime tasks. They will develop tactile and multimodal interface concepts and test their effectiveness in a simulator for situational awareness and decision-making in dynamic environments. The workshop’s three key outcomes are: (1) Insights into Tactile Interfaces – Participants will explore physical controls and their importance in safety-critical tasks. (2) Simulation-Based Evaluation –The workshop will explore the use of simulation as an evaluation method for interface prototypes. (3) Research Community Development – It will foster collaboration among researchers beyond the workshop by creating communication channels such as Discord.
