Micro LED Inspires Smart Cockpit Innovations for Immersive Entertainment Experience via the Virtual Sky Canopy AUO pushes the boundary of automotive intelligence, bringing new applications to human-machine engagement in smart cockpits. The company has pioneered the integration of seamless tiled Micro LED transparent displays into a large Virtual Sky Canopy and the XR Interactive Window that features multiple functions including touch and sensing. AUO elevates the sunroof with an augmented immersive experience combining technology and art that links to the side windows to reveal a fantasy world of changing lights beyond the car’s confines, reminiscent of a 360-degree theater. The adjustable transparency of the sunroof and side windows allows drivers and passengers to enjoy various forms of entertainment without worrying about privacy, safety and sun exposure. ? Elevating the Interactive Experience with Human-centered Design, Display HMI Solutions Enable the Driver to Become One with the Car The smart cockpit of the future will have more entertainment and business experiences, but safety-oriented design remains a top priority. For a more intuitive driving experience, AUO has partnered with BHTC to develop the Morphing Center Control, which sits idle as a flat-panel display that rises and transforms into a three-dimensional physical button supporting multiple controls when called into action. It also leverages the flexible nature of Micro LED displays to enhance human-machine engagement fluidity for increased driving safety. In this control mode, drivers can easily access and quickly switch between various in-vehicle features such as driving mode switching, gear adjustment, air conditioning and entertainment systems. ? Additionally, AUO has integrated the Foldable Cruise Pilot into its smart cockpit, which combines a precision motion mechanism and Micro LED display technology to enable seamless switching between manual and autonomous driving modes. The steering wheel and display can be folded as needed in different modes while maintaining superior image quality. The display is half-folded in manual driving mode, showing only essential driving details such as speed and mileage. When switched to autonomous driving, it can be fully unfolded to offer multimedia features such as audio and video entertainment, shopping and conferencing, transforming the vehicle into a mobile workspace for increased productivity. ? AUO Forays into Edge Computing to Develop In-vehicle Computing Solutions for Human-Machine Engagement and AIoT Targeting the automotive industry trend around software-defined vehicles (SDV), AUO, with its solid foundation of Display HMI solutions, is accelerating the integration of display and human-machine interfaces to meet user needs. By developing its edge computing capabilities, it aims to deliver highly integrated, interconnected computing solutions that will amplify the smart cockpit with a comprehensive range of services. AUO’s In-vehicle Computing, which will be debuted at CES 2025, supports stable and integrated display HMI, software services and AI capabilities. It simultaneously connects and drives multiple displays, sensors and devices in the car for audio-visual entertainment, voice assistant and AI-powered driver assistance features. The result is the ultimate smart cockpit environment with enhanced comfort and safety. ? Integrating its new In-vehicle Computing solution into the Smart Cockpit 2025, AUO has unlocked the XR Interactive Window feature in the rear seat. Through AI-generated computing, passengers can simply circle items displayed on the window to interact with them or obtain relevant information on the screen. This immersive, interactive and realistic experience can also be extended to mixed reality games that showcase its powerful computing capacity. In-vehicle Computing also synchronizes with the Horizon Image Glass to present the dashboard, center console and front passenger seat display features in an integrated panoramic view. In addition to a clear external vision, it provides real-time displays of vehicle status, navigation and road conditions, as well as value-added services such as personalized settings and safety alerts. ? AUO is committed to prioritizing people as it moves forward amid rapid innovation in the automotive industry, leveraging its Display HMI solutions, In-vehicle Computing solutions and software services to help bring innovative cockpit designs to life. By enhancing smart synergies between occupants, vehicles and roads, it aims to identify key differentiators in the smart cockpit segment with a continuous stream of groundbreaking products that drive new smart driving and mobility experiences, providing strong support for customers seeking market leadership. ?
