The DVN Interior workshop was a dense collection of technology—really a grand success, and it’s incredible to see how much our interior community is growing year upon year.
This week, we report on the seating and cockpit sessions, after last week’s coverage of keynotes, materials, sustainability, and interior lighting.
The seating session covered a broad perspective on seat benchmarking, regional evolution, and technology, with safer solutions, haptics, sensors, active comfort, and comparison of features between China and Europe.
The cockpit session covered evolution of displays, with windshield displays including HUDs, and transparent displays with the objective to reduce distracting touchscreens.
Polestar and Renault provided automaker perspectives, with emphasis on user experience, including emotions.
Refraining from cognitively or visually overloading the driver is of pivotal importance for safe HMI. So are tactile buttons and switches within easy reach, on any surface—including smart surfaces and multifunction steering wheels.
If you missed a session, all speaker videos will soon be available on our website for participants to (re)watch and enjoy. PDF presentations released for publication will be posted as well. A dedicated report will be published soon to sum up all contributions.
Thanks again to all for your outstanding contributions and participation.
Sincerely yours,
