Apple's press conference always attracts the attention of the public, and the reason is the core that it is proud of? -? Industrial design. Just for the rounded corners of the iPhone, they have ulterior motives to avoid tangent connection, and they have adopted a continuous curvature process to carefully polish the surface of the product, creating an indescribable beauty. It is with such an ingenious design concept as the core that every new product series released by Apple can always affect the whole industrial design trend.
This time, Apple announced that it will enter the 5G era, which will also have a huge impact on the outside world. In our daily life, clothing, food, shelter and transportation may all undergo great changes. Among them, as people's means of transportation, vehicles naturally bear the brunt.
as an indispensable means of transportation in the development of human civilization, the original purpose of vehicles or carriages is to transport people from point a to point B. Then, because of people's pursuit of aesthetic feeling, people added many beautiful designs to these means of transportation, and added many functional designs to the later vehicle development. Since then, beauty has gradually become a standard configuration, and the ever-changing functions have become an additional sub-item of vehicles. That's why when modern people talk about vehicles, they always stay in feelings and words about beauty, but they can talk about the contents of performance, data, car configuration and other functional items in Kan Kan.
innovation and change brought by science and technology
Of course, from the development of vehicles to now, the creativity of current design and problem-solving are stuck in the previous understanding of vehicles. Because at that time, we had not mastered an innovative technology that could change the times, that is, the 5G technology we are going to talk about this time.
Just like people in the 199s, it is impossible to imagine that a small square box the size of a palm can take photos, take photos, locate, navigate and even link the world. The technological span brought by 5G is the transition from mobile phone to smart phone.
Concept change of interior design
In the traditional interior design of fuel vehicles, designers have to reserve enough space for each function button because of the low functional integration, which limits the addition of life elements to some extent. Having said that, these functions were also very novel products at that time and were sought after by the public. Such as: electric windows, electric wipers, automatic headlights and so on. This also makes designers in the past spend their energy on modifying the details of past products and shaping the brand PI.
With the advent of the 5G era, the blessing of autonomous driving and the development of many other technologies, many functions can be integrated in a small area. Interior design has gradually changed from the original "function room" to "living room". In recent years, the design of nightclub atmosphere lights led by Mercedes-Benz is a brand-new attempt. Subsequently, the design of seat ventilation, seat massage, boss cockpit and back backrest adjustment was all an attempt to "living room". However, these attempts are also carried out under the restrictions of many traditional fuel vehicles, so they can only achieve the icing on the cake, without qualitative changes.
The focus shifts from drivers to passengers' real-time experience
The recently released Mercedes-Benz S-Class also confirms this point. With the support of 5G, the S-class has a car teleconference system, a navigation and sharing system for rear passengers, a web browsing system for rear passengers and so on. The addition of these life-oriented configurations has largely solved the embarrassing situation that passengers can only sit and close their eyes in the car. This is the qualitative change that 5G has brought to cars, which has enabled passengers to enter the era of real-time interconnection from the original disc/USB flash drive era.
of course, the design of these configurations still stays on the function, but the focus of this part of the function has shifted from the driver to the passenger. However, this also illustrates the transformation and attempt of the interior space design concept.
And the arrival of the new era of 5G will affect the OTA car update system, on-board real-time entertainment interconnection system and AR real-time navigation system under 5G in the future. After the implementation of supporting measures such as laws and regulations in the future, designers can put the idea that once only stayed in concept into practice. The technology of these configurations is mature, which can even affect the design of windows and traditional vehicles A, B and C columns. We can also predict that the design concept of some models peeling off the steering wheel will land, and some models may completely break away from the design concept of vehicles and become mobile living spaces.
the limitation of vehicle exterior design is lifted
The design of these interior spaces is an attempt in this respect, Volkswagen ID? Buzz and Icona's Nucleus have similar foresight. However, in the interior space design, the two have different attempts. Volkswagen adopted the design concept of "one person, one building", while Icona tried the design of LOFT living space.
not only the interior space design has been changed, but also the exterior design has become different because of 5G.
For example, at present, Japan, Europe and other countries have allowed the models equipped with electronic rearview mirrors to go on the market. Lexus has been mass-produced? ES, as well as Hondae, which will be released in Europe in October, have subverted the concept of traditional car design in modeling, and the style of traditional car body modeling design may also change. In such a 5G environment, coupled with autonomous driving and the interconnection of everything in the future, the interconnection system between cars and even the communication between cars and external devices can be realized.
Toyota's Concept-i has also made a series of related attempts, such as futuristic appearance and interior design, as well as numerical control display and communication system on the car body. This kind of design reminds people of the future communication between cars using the body display screen. It can even be linked to the use of the road and body display screen specially planned for autonomous driving after the popularization of autonomous driving.
in the past vehicle design, the conventional body modeling design is nothing more than the standardized design of lights, windows and body lines. The addition of the elements of the body display screen gives designers another room to play. For example, the unified display and communication system allows vehicles to communicate better with the outside world when giving way to zebra crossings in traffic and even in daily urban road driving. This kind of scene is definitely more attractive than the lamp illumination scheme given by major manufacturers at present.
The overall change of the times drives the change of vehicle design
The arrival of the p>5G era has a huge impact not only on vehicle design, but also on the whole industrial design. At present, the prospect of vehicle design is only based on the attributes of the vehicle itself. Just like the initial mobile phone to smart phone span, the development of cameras, mobile networks, chips and other supporting equipment is also crucial. In recent years, the arrival of new energy vehicles and the design of the center console that suddenly became clear after deleting the traditional gearbox are all key changes. What we have to do is to keep innovative thinking changing with the times.
