BMW Augmented Reality Windshield Concept Adds Gaze Detection for Natural Interaction
During the climax of its presentation at this week's CES 2020 in Las Vegas, the automaker unveiled its BMW i Interaction Ease, a concept cabin for autonomous vehicles that combines an AR windshield, a contextual user interface, intelligent lighting, and a luxurious, adaptable interior that looks more like a hotel suite than a passenger vehicle.
The BMW Natural Interaction system uses not only voice and gesture control, but also gaze detection to interact with navigation and infotainment features on the Panorama Head-Up Display, which adds a digital layer to the entire expanse of the real-world view. Meanwhile, intelligent materials turn dashboards and seats into interactive surfaces for additional interaction.
According to Fröhlich, the first BMW Natural Interaction features will arrive in the BMW iNext in 2021.
materials turn seats into interactive surfaces, so, with a touch, seats recline into a position that emulates the feeling of weightlessness. The display and lighting also adjust, while soothing sounds from Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer and BMW sound designer Renzo Vitale fill the cabin.
