Visteon's automotive concepts explore future consumer
electronics technologies to safely deliver a wider choice of
information and applications to drivers and passengers through
intuitive interfaces and new infotainment and connected car
features, designed to deliver industry-leading performance.
Visteon also will unveil two new automotive brands – one for
connected audio and infotainment, and one for instrumentation – at
its display in Central Plaza #20.
"Visteon heads into our 15th year at CES as one of
the first automotive electronics suppliers actively developing
viable solutions for the rapidly converging worlds of consumer
electronics and automotive technology," said Timothy D. Leuliette, Visteon president and CEO.
"The advanced concepts launched at this year's show set the path
for Visteon Electronics to further strengthen its position as one
of the world's leading automotive electronics suppliers, positioned
at the intersection of consumer electronics and the connected
vehicle."
Presented for the first time at CES, Visteon's HMeye cockpit
concept features a unique user interface controlled by eye gaze and
head direction data, coupled with image attribute tracking.
Selection controls are retained on the steering wheel to improve
response time while allowing the driver to focus on the road
ahead.
Visteon's Horizon Cockpit introduces a new application of
emerging disruptive technologies using gesture recognition to
operate various controls. An advanced camera system tracks and
mirrors the driver's gestures by mapping movement through a full
kinematic spatial hand which, in turn, replicates the motion as a
virtual hand on the cockpit's display.
Also making its debut at the show, Visteon's OASIS concept – an
acronym for optimized, adaptable, secure, intelligent and seamless
connectivity – protects the vehicle communication network by
providing a secure method to connect the vehicle to the user and
Cloud computing.
"As the ecosystem of consumer and automotive electronics merge,
strategic collaborations are becoming essential to bringing
innovative products to market quickly," said Marty Thall, president, Visteon Electronics.
"Visteon works closely with a wide and diverse range of technology
leaders and vehicle manufactures to deliver the next generation of
connected car technologies."
An example of such a partnership is demonstrated by Visteon's
new connected cockpit electronics solution developed in
collaboration with Renault. Unveiled at the LeWeb'13 Paris event in December, Visteon's cockpit
demonstrator offers insight into ways drivers and passengers can
interact with autonomous features at low speeds.
Visteon's presence at CES extends beyond its exhibit.
Tim Yerdon, global director,
innovation and design, is among the "gurus of car tech"
participating in the CES panel discussion, "Just around the
bend: How technology will change driving," from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Jan.
8 at LVCC, North Hall N259. Yerdon will discuss the
influence of connected car features and Cloud-based technologies on
the future driving experience.
