Home>Competencies>Innovations HMI DESIGN CONCEPT The car of the future: displays, touch screens, streaming The car of the future is versatile in terms of the interior, the dashboard and the center console. In autonomous driving, the multimedia display extends to double its size and the steering wheel folds away. Functions are selected via integrated control elements, touch screen and touchpad with active, haptic feedback. The smart surfaces have integrated control elements. INNOVATIONS YOU CAN TOUCH Center stack operating system At the IAA, Preh presented innovative automotive control systems (HMI) for the center console (center stack). The contents of the central display can be moved to the instrument cluster using gesture control. When functions are selected on the touch screen, you get visual and haptic feedback. A rotary actuator connects conventional, mechanical operating elements with the digital world of displays. Various functions can be accommodated in the smallest of spaces. INNOVATIONS YOU CAN TOUCH Operating systems (HMI), touchscreen in the car At the IAA, Preh Automotive showed new possibilities of integrating “haptic landscapes” into a touchscreen. So far, the driver has not received any feedback from the system via a touchscreen when performing functions. The solution presented provides haptic feedback by vibrating buttons and sliders on the screen when pressed. The driver thus receives noticeable feedback on his selection of functions. © 2021 | PREH GMBH IMPRINT DATA PROTECTION CONTACT
