At DVN Interior, we’re constantly publishing stories about design, safety, HMI, seats, consoles, materials, sustainability, and more. That “…and more” covers a lot of ground; some parts of the interior have less visibility. Like overheads, headrests, and doors, for example. But we don’t ignore those; we cover them from time to time as they play their role in interior innovations. The rearview mirror, for example. It is a crucial safety item, for it provides situational awareness. With AR, cameras, sensors, and other new technology, the mirror is becoming a key element in DMS, navigation (compass), augmented visibility, communication (phone calls), and ever more and more functions. It combines optics, electromechanics, electronics, electrochromics, and now lighting and software. It lets you look rearward, of course, and in a way it also lets us look ahead into the future—by dint of the innovations being added. This week’s in-depth article presents the rearview mirror we use so often when driving.
Don’t miss DVN Interior Torino Workshop on October 22-23, 2024, it will focus on the close connection between design and sustainability in the interior. The docket includes lectures from the likes of Stellantis, Italdesign, Ford Forvia, Dow, Covestro, AMS Osram, NBHX, and Mario Levi. In addition, we will have two high-level panel discussions on sustainable design and sustainable materials for interior design. The first morning also includes a Stellantis lab visit in Mirafiori (registration is required), and lunch at Pista 500, the historic Fiat test track on the roof of Lingotto Building. Don’t miss it, register here!
Sincerely yours,
