Blending Traditional and Modern Features
The 16" x 6" touch-screen central monitor handles the normal jobs of accessing weather, road conditions and other functions, but is also programmed to display images of nature and the changing seasons. Team leader Kojii Nagano's words explain the concept:
- "We were looking for new ways to add an emotional element to the current information-centric monitors. We want the images on the monitor to provide a peaceful contemplation area, much like you find in a Japanese home. You can also add images from nature or digitize personal photos for display, anything to make the experience of driving or riding in Kuraza more spiritually rewarding."
