Event Details

The main theme of this year`s Forum is "The Ultimate User Experience", with a special focus on speech-enabled HMIs for automotive and mobile industries. Notable domains to be covered include navigation, location-based services and dynamic mobile content. The SVOX Forum 2008 will feature speakers and experts from the most prominent companies.  

 

Daniel Vine, Senior Systems Engineer of Denso, one of the SVOX Forum 08 speakers explains his vision: "My vision for the ultimate user experience is that all connected in-car communication, navigation and entertainment devices work together seamlessly, controllable via a unified interface, that can be used by novices with minimal training. The goal is to enhance user experience by increasing safety, reducing cognitive load and enhancing productivity. As VUIs allow more flexible user input, my vision is that speech technology will play an increasingly central role in controlling in-car navigation, phone and other connected devices."
