Detailed information about the project could be provided during the interview.
HMI and UX were designed for mobility experiences when the focus is no longer on activity on the road, but on activity within the car.
In a shared economy, individualization will be a challenge, but HARMAN and Rinspeed address this through authentication which occurs in three steps. A smart device first unlocks vehicle personalization via a token, while two-step verification (facial recognition for example) permits access to personal content, with biometric identification serving as the final step to protect confidential information such as real-time health monitoring.
Inside the concept vehicle are the following technologies:
• A Personal Control Panel (PCP) at each of the four seats, featuring a high-density multi-touch interface and interactive rotary dial with contextual haptic feedback;
• Large central display area at each row of seats which will facilitate onboard collaboration;
• Front and back external communication windshield projections and lateral windows projections for a larger workspace or shared visuals;
• HoverTab tablet that easily moves into three distinct positions for the user’s convenience, with the ability to retract behind the seat.
