BMW i Inside Future Concept First Look: 2017 Consumer Electronics Show

Опубликовано 6 января 2017, 19:44

BMW continues to show off its future direction and the brand has brought a number of different technologies and ideas to display at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The brand will be offering rides in a self-driving 5 Series at CES, though that isn't the most impressive or futuristic technology being showcased.

BMW is focusing on technology that will work in conjunction with self-driving cars, such as a system that will offer information on passing buildings or places. The driver must simply point as the building, and thanks to gesture control, the car will bring up the requested info.

That is also the reason the BMW i Inside Future sculpture was brought to CES 2017; to show exactly what can be done with the interior of a self-driving car when the occupants don't have to worry about driving. It starts with the HoloActive Touch system, which is a new kind of user interface that has a free-floating virtual display that users control with their hands, though no physical contact is ever made with the car. Haptic feedback is even offered thanks to ultrasonic sound.
