Interactive Image Integration (I3)

Experience a full ergonomic simulation by interacting with your digital instrument clusters. TechViz Interactive Image Integration (I3) option is user friendly and enables visualization of human-machine interaction scenarios. Insert non-3D elements within a 3D model.

I3, simulate instrument clusters in virtual reality

Interact instantly with your Digital Instrument Clusters, Digital Infotainment, Navigation Systems, Digital Speedometer, Digital Electronic Control Unit, Digital climate control or any kind of HMI in your product design review.

The aim is to emulate a touch-sensitive interaction with human-machine interface in an immersive environment. These human-machine interfaces are independent 2D applications integrated in the mock-up. In a virtual car, for example, the user’s fingers can be tracked thanks to a thimble for interaction with the virtual GPS interface. The collision between the interaction tool and the user interface emulates a computer mouse click. It enables to create various scenarios such as testing hand accessibility to the main commands from the driver seat of a car.

How does Interactive Image Integration work?

Define the interactive panel in the design application and start the human-machine interface emulator on the laptop. TechViz I3 will automatically display these human-machine interfaces in the immersive world. In combination with a tracked device, users can control the human-machine interface. TechViz I3 detects the contact of the user’s fingers to the virtual panel, then emulates the contact into a touch control onto the human-machine interface. Multiple sources are possible. Preparation time is immediate, the designer only needs to apply a specific texture to define the interactive display.
