Canatu presented the award-winning Origo Steering Wheel concept at the DVN Car Smart Interior Conference
CEO Juha Kokkonen presented the award-winning Origo Steering Wheel concept at the event. The new Origo Steering Wheel brings the smart device user experience (UX) to cars. The driver can manage all key functions purely with the thumbs without letting go of the steering wheel minimizing distractions and improving safety.
Canatu shapes surfaces into experiences by bringing touch on any 3D shape and surface. Innovative 3D touch sensors replace multiple mechanical controls, enabling sleek, light, and unobtrusive interiors. Transparency allows for customizable illuminated designs.
Due to tactile form-factor, Canatu 3D touch enables intuitive, eyes-free interaction with the key functions. 3D touch sensors are always within thumbs-reach enabling safe eyes-on-the-road controls. Canatu 3D touch improves safety by minimizing distracted driving. Instead of glancing at the centre information display, the driver can keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road for increased driving safety.
Canatu CNT film and 2-layer sensors and 3D formed enabling intuitive UX, and injection moulded for robustness. Transparency allows for customizable backlighted designs.
The first DVN Interior Workshop was a live stream event and comprised a full-day conference and an exhibition. The event focused on new technologies for car interiors and mobility. Topics included new use cases for increasingly automated and connected vehicles, flexible interior and system perspective, seating, interior lighting, formerly passive surfaces becoming functional, HMI, design, and decoration.
