Kouta Minamizawa Associate Professor, Graduate School of Media Design Chair, Thesis Co-Supervisor iii iv Driving Experience of an Indirect Vision Cockpit by Takura Yanagi Submitted to the Graduate School of Media Design in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MEDIA DESIGN Abstract Indirect vision systems that display the live video stream from a camera on a display can improve perception of the surroundings and thereby perfor- mance in a visual task compared with direct vision. For example, night vi- sion goggles can enhance image contrast at night above the threshold needed for processing by the human visual system and enable the wearer to perceive and act on the surroundings. This thesis aims to improve the design of indi- rect vision systems by examining how the choice of perspective in an indirect vision system can improve spatial awareness.

    Alternative personal transportation: Bridging the gap between cars and sustainable transport RICHARDSON, Mark; ROSE, Geoff Alternative personal transportation: Bridging the gap between cars and sustainable transport Mark Richardson, Art and Design, Monash University Geoff Rose, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Monash University ABSTRACT It is clear that we are reaching a tipping point in terms of the ability of the automobile to sustainably fulfil its function as a primary provider of personal powered mobility. There is a large gap however, between other forms of more sustainable transport, such as walking, cycling and public transport, and the affordances provided by the car. For a culture accustomed to the conveniences of automobility, it will be difficult to find a direct replacement that provides the speed, carrying capacity, comfort, weather protection and personal safety of a car. Nevertheless, an increasingly diverse range of alternatives are becoming available, promising to provide more diverse transport opportunities. Alternative vehicles have been developed and produced by niche manufacturers for decades, but have not enjoyed mainstream popularity. This is likely to change in years to come, given the climatic, social and financial issues facing society. Until recently, the major automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have not demonstrated a clear ambition to design and manufacture alternative vehicles, but new trends are emerging in the concept vehicles at the major international motor shows. This paper provides an overview of some of the issues likely to impact on the personal transport sector and summarises how the major automotive OEMs have been approaching the development of alternative vehicles in recent years. Keywords: Alternative vehicles, concept cars, vehicle design, sustainable transport, future design, microcar, personal mobility device.
