Futuristic Automotive Technology In Mitsubishi EMIRAI
We have seen a lot of concept cars for a while now and with interesting new technologies. This time at the Tokyo Motor Show, Mitsubishi showcased their new concept, the EMIRAI. This new concept features a dashboard with curved display implementing the rear projection technology. The most interesting part is that the rear projection display dashboard supports touch inputs for its various operations. Till now we have had small displays embedded in the dashboard in form of LCD panels, but this new technology brings up the whole dashboard to life.

This new concept may be one of the most striking features of new generation of smart cars about ten years later. The steering wheel features a new interface with shape changing buttons which are programmed to be raised making only the required buttons usable while keeping the other buttons retracted. Some controls of the display can also be operated by sliding fingers over the raised buttons which makes it easy for use as they can be operated without actually looking towards them.
The seat positions and other operations are also customisable according to the driver. The car identifies the person and measures the facial temperature and heart rate by the use of Doppler sensors present in the dashboard, which assesses the health of the driver to customise the seating and steering positions for safe commuting. This concept also features hand written inputs of Japanese characters for using the navigation system of the vehicle and also a glass-free 3D display for the rear passenger. Here's a video explaining the whole concept:
