New technology for touchless interaction with interiors (Part 1.) |
|
Neuss, Germany , 10. September 2019. (APA/OTS) - Yanfeng and IEE customize vehicle interiors for Smart Cabin Concepts |
Yanfeng, one of the world's leading automotive suppliers and a
specialist in Smart Cabin concepts, and IEE, a leading provider of
sensor solutions in the automotive sector, are jointly developing an
integrated technology vision for the vehicle interiors of the
future. "Active Space" is their interpretation of an interactive
interior in an autonomous, level 5 vehicle.
New forms of mobility, such as autonomous driving, ride-sharing and
car-sharing, are changing automotive interiors. If driving tasks are
largely eliminated or require less time, this frees drivers up for
other activities. That is why the interiors of the future will have
to cover a variety of different use case scenarios. Intuitive,
interactive, and convenient concepts always focused on the user
experience will play an increasingly important role. Therefore,
Yanfeng is pursuing its Smart Cabin approach for intelligent
passenger compartments, in which functional surfaces, health and
wellness features and connectivity are seamlessly integrated into
the interior in the future.
"New mobility services, such as autonomous ride-sharing, pose
enormous challenges for us as interiors experts - but also give us
the opportunity to be creative and come up with something new,"
explained Han Hendriks, Chief Technology Officer at Yanfeng
Technology. "With Active Space, we are giving passengers a way to
interact with the vehicle and thereby bringing our Smart Cabin
vision to life."
In its Experience in Motion 2020 (XiM20) concept car, Yanfeng shows
how this technology vision might actually look in a Smart Cabin
concept for fully autonomous vehicles.
Interactive interior experience with intuitive control Active Space portrays the all-encompassing experience that may be
offered with sensor technology and surface integration in the
interiors of the future. Integrated into the rear zone of the XiM20
cabin, Active Space offers occupants a way to retreat from the
hustle and bustle of everyday life and create a feel-good atmosphere
through playful interaction. The intuitive and interactive sensor
solution is based on Yanfeng's interior design and smart surfaces as
well as IEE's sensor technology. A near-infrared stereo camera
serves as input device and captures the vehicle interior, while
powerful algorithms used in conjunction with the Smart Cabin
Controller control the lighting experience on the translucent
textile surfaces in real-time based on the analyzed movements. In
this way, Active Space offers a tailored human-machine interface
(HMI) solution that integrates seamlessly into interior surfaces.

Neuss, Germany , 10. September 2019. (APA/OTS) - |
In the XiM20, the smart surfaces switch between four different
modes, depending on the situation. For example, there is a blue
Energy mode and a violet/orange Relax mode. When the UV surface
sanitizer is activated, Active Space displays blue bubbles. In
stand-by mode, the surfaces stay white. In general, Active Space can
also be configured with customized designs. Travelers can interact
intuitively with the vehicle thanks to the combination of sensor
technology and smart surfaces. In a further step, it is conceivable
that individual operating functions for the audio or air
conditioning systems, for example, might be controlled via Active
Space.
"We have combined our expertise through this strategic partnership
with Yanfeng so that passengers can try out the mobility of tomorrow
as a unique experience," said Alain Schumacher, CTO of IEE. "Our
customers benefit in that we can offer them everything needed for an
integrated system from which various potential applications can be
derived." Yanfeng and IEE already signed a memorandum of
understanding at the IAA 2017 to combine their complementary skills
and jointly develop integrated smart solutions. The equal
partnership has already produced a multitude of successful
applications.
The latest result of the partnership is the Active Space technology
vision, which is currently in concept status and may feature in
real-life mobility solutions from 2035 onwards. In addition to the
seamless integration of Active Space into headliners, there is also
potential for it to find its way into B-pillars and front seat
backrests.
