Mitsubishi presents its interface EMIRAI vehicular

In the '50s, humanity imagined that in 2000 the cars were to be true rockets that defy gravity and allow us to cover large distances in a few minutes. You have a few days into 2011, and although we have these "rocket cars" that our forefathers dreamed of, at least we can say that their control interfaces are pretty close to becoming reality. The concept is called EMIRAI, and was presented by the people of Mitsubishi in the 2011 edition of the Tokyo Motor Show, which ended last Sunday.

 On Sunday December 11 ended the 42nd edition of the famous Tokyo Motor Show, with the presence of more than 840 000 people in its eight-day for the general public. We had seen some of the new Nissan Pivo through 3, but this time, our attention is accusing people of Mitsubishi. No doubt we could have hoped for a complete vehicle from them, but what they offered in the exhibition was a concept that has the potential to become the default vehicle interface a lot of electric cars ... between now and ten years if all goes well. His name is EMIRAI, and if for some reason you thought that high-definition projection and tactile interfaces have no place in a car, better take a closer look.

The highlight of the system is undoubtedly EMIRAI your dashboard. Instead of using multiple LCD displays to present information, chose Mitsubishi rear projection, a detail that allows them to create a panel with different levels of curvature, adapting the original design of the car. At the same time, these have support projection surfaces touch, through which a user can enter text quickly with one hand. Another very important point of the interface is on the steering wheel buttons eighteen integrated and associated with different functions. Eighteen buttons may seem much on a wheel, but Mitsubishi has made the buttons change their profile according to the functions available at the time.

As if that were not enough, EMIRAI can also serve as personal information system for the driver, reporting useful data on the health of it, including heart rate. The information is not limited only to those leads, but the other passengers can also access such data through the screens mounted in the back seat. According to Mitsubishi, they can make suggestions on different types of technologies, but the key is to demonstrate to manufacturers how these technologies can be used and applied in different vehicles. While EMIRAI interface is approximately a decade away, imagine what is to come between EMIRAI and interfaces today.
