Audi Introduces Customizable Dashboard
These days just about everything is customizable - from your iPhone to your home computer. Even newer living room televisions have programmable screen savers. In the future (a not too distant one) you will be able to set up a personalized in-dash background for your Audi readouts.
Interface programmer Futuremark has created a fully 3-D and arrangeable customized dashboard, allowing you to select and move gauges, meters and add picture graphics to your vehicle’s dash. Now, instead of a blinking icon for your “Open Trunk” indicator you’ll actually see a graphic of your car with the trunk ajar. You can adjust the size or shape of speedometers and switch between radio and GPS views. The open sourced system will eventually be able to download external dash wallpapers provided by Futuremark, if searched out by the driver or occupants during non-driving times. Rumor has it you can expect to see the feature added to Audi SUV’s sometime soon.
