Jaguar Sensory Steering Wheel Directs with Heat

The Sensory steering wheel from Jaguar Land Rover offers navigation directions through gentle heat.

The Sensory steering wheel was created by Jaguar in cooperation with Glasgow University to help reduce driver distractions by and encourge them to keep their eyes on the road. Sections of the wheel will heat or cool to indicate directions for upcoming turns, and the team envisions adding more features like weather or fuel alerts that could be indicated by specific temperature changes.

According to Alexandros Mouzakitis, Jaguar Land Rover Electrical Research Senior Manager, “Research has shown people readily understand the heating and cooling dynamics to denote directions and the subtlety of temperature change can be perfect for certain feedback that doesn't require a more intrusive audio or vibration-based cue."
