What car is that? Love the concept. 🔥 It's really clean

I honestly think this is the boldest and most intuitive design decision taken in the past decade.
I wonder why there aren't intelligent window panels like this. Maybe display information on the left edge as well. The only thing I'm concerned about is accessibility because of lightning. Perhaps it needs to be displayed in a negative filter (exclusion)?
I get what you mean. They are videos of it being used in daylight and it fares up pretty nicely. I’m more impressed with the choice of adding the gauge display to the wheel.
There have been stories about car companies reversing course on touchscreen interfaces and returning to buttons and dials. I support that move, for safety reasons, but feel that heads-up projected displays like this still have a lot to offer (when combined with safer controls)
I think what impresses me most about the interior above is having so much control and information in the wheel itself. Perfect balance.
I worked on a project a few years ago where we were developing a prototype of an automotive HUD with holographic displays projected on the windscreen like this - using holography pixels appear in 3d space so the UI is presented on the road in front of the car.. its so cool.
I have a Mazda from 2017 that displays half of this information in the exact same way. It's fantastic.
Are you talking about the HUD or the in-wheel gauge display? Because the latter is a first for me.
Replacing the gauge display, something considered irreplaceable, with these two displays is so convenient and accessible.
As cool as that HUD looks like, that wheel is the star here. It balances the lack of buttons and dials and displays gauge-display information with better accessibility. I can see this adopted everywhere.
