Abstract

Children can be a distraction to the driver during a car ride. With our work, we try to combine the possibility of facial expression recognition in the car with a game for children. The goal is that the parents can focus on the driving task while the child is busy and entertained. We conducted a study with children and parents in a real driving situation. It turned out that children can handle and enjoy games with facial recognition controls, which leads us to the conclusion that face recognition in the car as a entertaining system for children should be developed further to exploit its full potential.
