A feature for autonomous cars that allow passengers to go beyond modern interactive options, and use voice and hand gestures to experience a fully immersive environment by incorporating AR into digital window screens and windshields to display a 360-degree visual.

It’s hard to come up with possible future autonomous vehicle’s UI system, it is still too far from the future for us to try and visualize a full-scale infotainment system.

What is the benefit of VR technology? VR creates a new environment that integrates reality into the virtual world, bringing a whole new experience instead of staring at multiple screens in a virtual world. We wanted to design an infotainment system for leisure vehicles that had a little fun added to the traditional automobile UI. We wanted to add an AR feature so that passengers could have a more immersive experience within the car.

Our prototype may be more suitable for implementation in the future as VR technology and autonomous driving technology matures. However, at the moment many people use the Apple Vision Pro to create a space to immerse themselves in a virtual world while traveling on an airplane. So we thought, why not in autonomous cars? This led us to the key features of this conceptual project - voice commands and AR environments.

In order to provide a more immersive interaction hub, we decided to get rid of the dashboard and not confine features to a screen.

Instead of just changing the image on the sphere, why not simulate the car driving through a real-time, dynamic environment, so as to create a realistic sense of feeling in the virtual world? We created a giant sphere and put the car inside it. When the user grabs the small ball in front of them, the giant sphere outside the car changes to show the selected environment.
