Tangible Car Infotainment System

TCIS - Tangible Car Infotainment System is a concept for a redesign of the automative interior.
The focus was to reduce the amount of input required. The core element, the tangible item can be placed in different positions to access various infotainment functions. Basic parameters can then be controlled by interacting with the item. For example if the item is placed in the multimedia zone, the volume can be adjusted by turning, the next song can be played back by tapping the item to the right. A contextual menu is always available by clicking on the item.
This concept concentrates on showing various possibilities to redesign the automotiv interior.
It is extendable to cover the full requirements of a car. For this work we chose to concentrate on two areas, climate and multimedia, to demonstrate new types of interaction.
