MIVI PROJECT

HARNESSING THE DATA FOR THE SAFETY IN DRIVING AND NEXTLEVEL UX

Siili_auto is the world’s premier creative technology studio fully focused on product innovation and product creation for next generation mobility. In the MIVI project we challenge our expertise in collecting, analyzing, enriching and utilizing the data of the user, the vehicle, the driving and the circumstance.
‍
The data enables a more improved, more personal user experience. Data more responsible yet smarter provides nothing but the right and necessary information for quick decision-making. Simultaneously the more efficient and contextual use of data provides opportunities for new data-based revenue models, like services related to cars or an easier daily life.

The Origo Steering Wheel concept - a playground for co-creating the future driving experience is now launched!

The new Origo Steering Wheel concept is the first joint demonstration and research platform to emerge from the Multimodal In-Vehicle Interaction and Intelligent Information Presentation (MIVI) consortium. The Origo Steering Wheel Concept improves the way a driver accesses information, and controls non-driving functions, in the vehicle with intuitive thumb controls accessible with a safe hands-on-wheel driving position. Relevant information is presented in each situation, ensuring the driver can focus on the primary task: safe driving. The new Origo Steering Wheel Concept replaces multiple mechanical controls in different locations with novel, 3-dimensional touch sensors that are integrated in the steering wheel and easily operated by thumb, providing a natural, smartphone-like interaction.

The Origo Steering Wheel concept has been co-created by Canatu, Siili Auto, Rightware and TactoTek®, each bringing their unique expertise to the project:

• Canatu provides its fully transparent Carbon NanoBud (CNB) film -based touch sensors that are integrated into the steering wheel. CNB sensors can be formed and moulded into any shape providing design-freedom and great user experience.
• Siili Auto designs and implements User Interface (UI) of the smart steering wheel. UI and the steering wheel physical form and innovate controls are seamlessly integrated to a unique user experience.
• Rightware is providing its market-leading HMI software tools including Kanzi UI, Kanzi Connect, and Kanzi Maps to enable rapid design, prototyping, and development of intuitive interaction modelsfor this new concept.
• TactoTek® applies its Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE™) technology to design and produce smart surfaces that include circuitry, touch controls and illumination in 3D injection molded designs.
