Abstract
In order to research the effects of interactive designs for different car panels on driving efficiency, the layouts of the current common car dashboard were investigated and 35 experimental stimulus materials were obtained. Tobii X2-30 eye tracker was used to perform eye movement test on 30 subjects. SPSS V21.0 was used to analyze the corresponding data. Results show that the setting of the speedometer in the middle position has a significant impact on the reading of tachometer and water temperature meter. The area on the left panel got less attention and complex color dials get more fixations. The best layout for the overall reading of the instrument is class-A. Moreover, complex color matching design can depress the reading efficiency.
