Lexus UX Concept goes 3D

The bold UX Concept design embodies imaginative, forward-thinking technologies to provide occupants with a fully immersive experience. An all on-board Human Machine Interface (HMI) has been designed to offer progressive customers who live and work in an ever-connected environment an innovative, three-dimensional driver experience.

The driver's instrument binnacle houses a transparent globe, floating in the manner of a hologram, in which a combination of analogue and digital information expresses a functional yet unexpected user interface. The centre console features a prominent, faceted crystal structure within which a hologram-style display of air-conditioning and infotainment system is clearly visible to both driver and front passenger.

The latest advanced in-vehicle electrical technologies are also on display in the new UX Concept. It features electro-chromatic windows, and the door mirrors are replaced by e-mirror camera housings far slimmer than conventional mirror housing. All switchgear is electrostatic, and housed under transparent covers.

The fin motif used on the A pillar is repeated on the dashboard to provide a new audio experience for the new generation Lexus customer - a demountable sound bar built into the passenger side of the dashboard.
