Thanks to intensive partnerships with our suppliers, we always both get and require cutting-edge technology. Our experts are extremely well connected. Co-operations with universities and start-ups, our innovation center in Finland as well as our technology scouting office in San José – all contribute to our success. Recognizing trends, setting trends and designing the vehicle interior of the future – that is what BHTC is about! VIEW PRODUCTS MiCoTronic™: The Innovation In The Center Stack We offer innovation, flexibility, and individuality to our customers. The MiCoTronic™ can be freely configured. In addition to the free-form display, the unique features are the central recess for the gear selector lever, multi-finger operation depending on the operating force, and the associated haptic and acoustic feedback. The mechanical rotating actuator on the 3D-moulded glass rounds off user experience. Our customers can implement a multitude of variants with the MiCoTronic™. End consumers benefit from a customizable operator panel, more flexibility, and safe operation. VIEW PRODUCT VIDEO Control By Gestures: The Operation Of The Future BHTC is developing various system solutions for the gesture-based control of infotainment functions. In future, various functions can be controlled not only by button, touch display, or voice but also by gestures. We already supply different camera and sensor solutions for the detection and evaluation of 3D gestures in the air that support static pointing gestures and dynamic movements. This facilitates the safe and distraction-free operation of selected functions - a topic that is bound to catch on in the future within the context of autonomous driving. Free-Standing Display: A Real Eye-Catcher On The Interior With this free-standing display BHTC is setting a new trend. The challenge facing our engineers was integrating numerous cutting-edge technologies in a very confined installation space. Main features are the almost frameless multi-touch display in high-brilliance image quality, a precise force sensor and excellent tactile feedback. Proximity sensors and the support of dynamic gestures offer maximum ease of use. The BHTC Center Stack: The Center Of The Interior Cutting-edge technologies in a very confined space are incorporated in the floating, slim design. Our high-tech standards such as force sense, tactile feedback, and acoustic feedback form the ideal basis for optimum operation. We have integrated a fingerprint scanner in order to meet trends such as customization and car-sharing. By distinguishing individual people, we can make user-specific settings possible and provide safety for applications such as in-car shopping. The 3D-moulded polymer cover with black panel effect and real metal components are essential design features. A genuine leather armrest adds another classic touch to the entire concept – and can even be used by the driver for entering navigation destinations by handwriting.
