[iCard Auto Shanghai Auto 2023 Original]
On April 17, 2023, on the eve of the Shanghai Auto Show, BMW brought us the iVision Dee concept car and i7 M70L at the BMW Future Night event, and the new iX1 appeared on the booth, which will most likely be officially met at tomorrow's auto show.
· i Vision Dee concept car
The i Vision Dee concept is designed with an avant-garde design and a minimalist design, with a fully enclosed front and BMW's classic kidney shape that is vaguely outlined by lines. The headlamps are presented with LED light strips on both sides of the left and right. This concept car is the BMW Group's latest masterpiece in the field of digitalization and looks forward to the upcoming next-generation model in 2025, marking another milestone on the road to the next generation.
The side styling of the i Vision Dee concept is full of sense of design, the sharp line design highlights BMW's sporty genes, and BMW's classic "Hotcher corner" has been reinterpreted on the i Vision Dee concept car. It is worth mentioning that the BMW Group released the world's first full-color E Ink technology applied to a car on the body surface of the i Vision Dee concept. Previously, BMW created a unique body design that alternates black and white on the iX Flow, but now the technology has been upgraded to introduce a fully variable, individually configurable color exterior on the i Vision Dee concept. The e-paper film covers the entire car body, and through different electrical impulses, the body can take on up to 32 colors. The rear of the vehicle also adopts a minimalist design, and the LED light strip that echoes the headlights becomes its taillights, and the straight lines further extend the visual width of the rear.
The interior of the i Vision Dee concept also features a minimalist design. The new car innovatively creates an in-vehicle digital experience. For the first time in a new car, BMW has adopted a new advanced head-up display system, which projects content that covers the entire width of the windshield, allowing information to be displayed on the largest possible surface. The concept car will not have any physical displays inside, only relying on the projection technology presented by the front windshield to show all the display content in the car. Whether it is the basic data of the vehicle, the entertainment system, or other interfaces for entertainment, or even access to the metaverse world, the front windshield will be the only digital interface to interact with everyone.
Another highlight of the i Vision Dee concept car is the mixed reality interface, there will not be any physical buttons in the car, there is a virtual projection in the center console, there are five buttons on its projection, but this is not a physical button, just projected out to present to everyone. This mixed reality technology fully engages different senses to create an immersive experience in the car and create a whole new dimension of driving pleasure for users. With Shy Tech sensors hidden in the dashboard, drivers can decide for themselves what digital content to display on the advanced head-up display system and how rich the content is. Users can choose between five levels through the mixed reality interface, including: real environment, driving information, social communication, augmented reality projection, and virtual world.
In addition, the ability to achieve more human-vehicle interaction is another major feature of the i Vision Dee concept. The vehicle's headlights and enclosed kidney grille together form the human-machine emotional interaction module outside the car, and the car is able to make different "face" expressions to express emotions, such as joy, surprise or approval.
