Aumovio's projector turns the car's cockpit into a canvas

Aumovio has presented its innovative Surface Projection solution at CES 2026, which uses cutting-edge projection technology to display visual content directly on the cockpit surface.

Depending on the situation, the large display area can showcase decorative patterns, emotional colour and lighting effects, driving information, subtle navigation cues, or alerts from driver assistance systems.

This technology imposes no special requirements on cockpit surface materials, with dark surfaces delivering the best visual results

This Surface Projection solution uses compact, high-resolution projectors that are discreetly integrated into the headliner or directly into the overhead control panel to deliver pillar-to-pillar image output across the entire cockpit surface. The system employs up to three miniature projectors combined into a single unit for minimal space requirements.

The technology imposes no special requirements on cockpit surface materials, with dark surfaces (especially those combined with tactile microfiber velour) delivering the best visual results. The system activates automatically at dusk and - thanks to state-of-the-art LED projection technology - power consumption remains minimal.

Leveraging Aumovio's expertise in system integration, this projection technology has the potential to be scaled into a compact unit suitable for automotive mass production.
