The BMW Floating Giant Screen is equipped with a 31-inch ultra-wide panoramic display with a resolution of up to 8K in terms of hardware, which is cleverly integrated into the car's canopy system, extending from the canopy to the front seat back. On-screen entertainment can be played in 16:9, 21:9, or even 32:9 formats, complemented by the Bowers & Wilkins 4D Diamond surround sound system for a superior immersive entertainment experience.
The screen tilt and the position of the touch screen area on both sides are designed just right, allowing users to sit comfortably and easily operate. The BMW suspension giant screen has also undergone multiple crash tests, providing valuable BMW customers with peace of mind and an immersive digital journey under the premise of ensuring passenger safety.
In terms of content, BMW and Amazon Fire TV provide users with a wealth of cutting-edge entertainment content. In the future, BMW will also collaborate with local Chinese suppliers to provide an in-car entertainment experience that meets the preferences of Chinese users.
Outside, BMW has designed the Pedestrian Acoustic Warning Function (AVAS) to ensure safety by allowing pedestrians to perceive nearby vehicles. Inside the car, BMW designed exclusive sound effects for each "theme mode", each sound effect has a rich sense of layering, and all match the visual effects presented under different "theme modes".
The personalization shown by BMW's new digital technology is not limited to the inside of the car, but also "exposed" on the surface of the car. At this exhibition, BMW presented a latest research result. Using the unique technology of "e-ink", the body color change function was successfully realized on the innovative BMW iX.
"E-ink" contains millions of transparent microcapsules, just the thickness of a single hair. Each microcapsule contains a negatively charged white pigment, as well as a positively charged black pigment. By controlling the electrodes on both sides of the microcapsule, the desired color appears on the body surface.
In addition, "electronic ink" not only changes the color of the body, but also helps to reduce energy consumption, providing a new direction for exploration and thinking for sustainable development. It is worth mentioning that the changeable body color is conducive to improving the comfort of the car and reducing the energy required for the electrical system.
For example, the white surface can reflect more sunlight than black, if the body color is changed to a light color, the impact of strong external sunlight and high temperature on the interior of the vehicle can be reduced accordingly, and the interior such as the center console and dashboard can be prevented from overheating. In the case of lower temperatures, turning the body dark can help absorb more heat from sunlight, reduce the energy consumption required for air conditioning heating, and effectively increase the electric range.
