The vehicle interior is becoming a health space: materials that are harmless to both people and the environment are combined with sensor applications that translate biometric data into lighting or climate control. Which use cases—spanning health, safety, and well-being—will prove successful? How can this be used to design a holistic user experience? We’ll discuss these questions in the fourth installment of our “Spaces of Mobility” event series with experts from the automotive and mobility industries, architecture, and materials research.
"Spaces of Mobility" Event Series
Health is playing an increasingly important role in the interior of automobiles. The focus is on new materials whose emissions and odors have a positive impact on the health and well-being of people and the environment. At the same time, biosensors—such as those found in smartwatches—are offering an ever-wider range of possibilities. They can measure biometric data from occupants, which in turn can be used to design and regulate lighting or the interior climate.
But what specific use cases can be developed in the areas of health, safety, and well-being? Which healthy materials are suitable for what purposes? What form factors make sense for sensors—firmly integrated into the interior or flexible as wearables? How can these trends be implemented economically? And what can we learn from other interiors—from architecture to trains to airplanes?
About Spaces of Mobility
The event series brings together professionals from the fields of mobility design, mobility providers, automakers, and suppliers, as well as experts from other industries. The event is aimed at anyone interested in researching, designing, and producing the mobile interiors of tomorrow. The series is a collaboration between bayern design, Bayern Innovativ, and the InSuM Interior Hub.
