在 2023 年国际消费类电子产品展览会（CES 2023）上，汽车行业的内饰设计更上一层楼。从 VR 到游戏机，创新的新功能正在将汽车座舱变成令人难以置信的体验场。了解未来车内生活的样子，学习如何更好更快地创造驾驶舱体验。
CES is one of the most influential tech events in the world. Hosted every year under the illustrious glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, it provides a global stage for innovation, where developers, manufacturers, and suppliers of technology come together to showcase their latest breakthrough inventions and technological ideas across all aspects of the tech sector.
Like most years, there was a strong presence from the automotive industry on the showroom floor. Indeed, the automotive industry is a hotbed for innovation, with automakers, tier-one suppliers and technology providers voraciously competing for the limelight with advances in electric and autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), connected car technologies and more. OEMs used the hype of the show to unveil brand new concepts and vehicles, like Peugeot’s futuristic Inception and the RAM Revolution electric pickup.
今年，内饰显然成为了舞台的中心，汽车制造商们雄心勃勃，力求以最令人惊叹的差异化优势吸引眼球。许多参展商都在做同样的事情，尽管方式略有不同：将传统的非汽车技术整合到汽车中。
大科技与汽车行业合作
With a lot of new partnerships between automakers and traditional big tech companies, technological convergence saw in-car entertainment being completely redefined. Cabins all over the showroom floor were transformed into futuristic experience arenas. Honda teamed up with Sony and together they showcased their first joint prototype vehicle, the Afeela, which leverages Unreal Engine to seamlessly integrate real and virtual worlds to create the next-generation of in-car entertainment, Nvidia announced partnerships with Hyundai Motor Group, Polestar and BYD showcased the integration of their cloud-based game-streaming platform, GeForce Now, into several internet-connected vehicles. And Mercedes-Benz targeted music lovers with the announcement about their new collaboration with Apple, boasting that the Mercedes-Maybach models are the first non-Apple devices to have Apple Music with Spatial Audio.

在船上创造未来生活
虽然看到这么多旨在提高驾驶舒适度和乐趣的卓越新型汽车内饰体验令人振奋，但我们知道，并不是车展上的所有创意最终都会出现在我们的车道上。但是，有一家公司正在通过强大的技术组合，让未来的车载生活体验原型变得更加容易。
With EPICNPOC’s BOWL™ platform, carmakers can select from best-in-class modular hardware and use the cloud-based experience studio to quickly mix, match and configure new HMI features in the vehicle, such as graphical interfaces, voice controls, lighting features, ADAS, driver monitoring and more. The kit combines a truly vast array of hardware and software that have been seamlessly amalgamated, so new futuristic concepts can be rapidly created using one or more technologies from a menu of options. The output is simply limited by the imagination of the builder. Just imagine how hand or body gestures could be used for better in-car experiences, or how interactive holography could wow passengers, or how highly designed curvatures with interactive panels could amaze.
The no-code BOWL platform enables even non-technical project leaders to create new experiences using a designer mindset while ensuring engineering robustness. BOWL is already empowering many OEM and tier-one manufacturers like of Renault, Forvia, and Mothersons and as it continues to add new hardware and software features from many pre-selected partners, it is attracting more manufacturers who are racing to transform new ideas into a reality. Not only is it fast and fun, with reusable assets it has been proven to reduce downstream project time and cost by up to 70%.

At CES 2023, EPICNPOC showcased the BOWL technology in their configurable driving simulator – and with its ever-expanding hardware and software pool, it was announced that Neonode technology is now available and fully integrated into the BOWL automotive component library.
With Neonode’s Touch technology, designers have even more freedom when designing new concepts for the car’s interior. Trackpads and interactive surfaces no longer need to rely on LCDs or digital displays – by installing the Neonode plug-and-play Touch Sensor Module anywhere in the vehicle, manufacturers can use BOWL to configure any surface in the car to be completely interactive, such as wood, glass, carbon fiber or even Alcantara. This means that style no longer needs to be compromised when introducing new digital features into the cockpit.

Bringing a higher intelligence to sensor usage, Neonode Touch Sensor Modules uses light-reflective technology to detect touches on any material. Placed above a surface, the Touch Sensor Modules can also be used to create touchless experiences, where interaction can be detected in midair. With simple integration via USB or I2C transport, the sensor modules can be retrofitted or integrated into almost any application where end-users can then swipe, scroll, pinch, push and write – even without touching a thing.
EPICNPOC 首席执行官 Bertrand Stelandre 说："由于任何功能或技术都不可能在没有原型的情况下实现商业化，因此 Neonode 为智能表面带来了独特的差异化优势：由于表面和传感器之间的分离，他们的产品最容易进行原型设计，因此也最容易为任何表面进行从创意到生产的开发。
