Hyundai Mobis Builds a Less Distracting Touchscreen

Hyundai Mobishas pioneered technology that will make using touchscreens on the go much safer.

The Korean automaker’s parts and service arm says Quick Menu Select, a proximity-sensing touchscreen, will allow people to access frequently used menus simply by raising their hands to the screen. What’s more, these functions can be selected with just one gesture. As strange as it may sound, Hyundai Mobis says the new system should help the vehicle operate more safely without taking the driver’s eyes off the road.

A proximity sensor is nothing new; latest VW touchscreens can ‘wake up’ when they detect a hand. The difference, however, is that Hyundai’s system can anticipate the user’s needs.

Quick Menu Select, also known as Menu Foreknowledge Technology, uses the proximity sensor to reduce annoying touchscreen encounters. When a person in the vehicle brings their hand close to the screen, the integrated sensor can anticipate the user’s needs and automatically open frequently used pop-up screens.

This is the first time infrared beam sensors are used for in-vehicle position detection.

Auto-calibration technology (based on a detection algorithm) improves the accuracy and direction of movement of hand movements. The Quick Menu Select system uses various UX and UI solutions to detect the position and distance of objects.

This can be useful in some vehicles where useful functions are buried in submenus. Studies have shown that complex touchscreens are distracting and Quick Menu Select will provide a less distracting user experience. Hyundai Mobis hasn’t said when the tech will hit the market, so it will be soon. Ionic 5Don’t wait for it to be released in .

Gesture control is not new to the automotive world. BMW famously introduced the technology seven years ago and has been criticized for its poor response. It’s been developed over the years and the automaker now has it. Natural Interaction He calls it (Natural Interaction).

Hyundai Mobis is doing incredible work and has recently teamed up with software firm Luxoft to create the world’s most advanced infotainment system. The Infotainment Cockpit Controller MIS (see image above) can have up to six integrated displays and even has virtual personal assistants aimed at providing a pleasant experience for passengers.

Perhaps Hyundai’s parts manufacturer and supplier will combine the two technologies to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly system for future vehicles. The automotive world is currently divided into large interior displays. While Mercedes-Benz believed touchscreens were here to stay, a few automotive designers opposed the now common setup. (they believe in simpler and traditional design language)

While DS designer Thierry Metroz referred to them as “a bit silly” earlier this year, former Apple designer Jony Ive said he thinks products could return to more engaging physical controls.
