Toyota has revealed a new concept that will revolutionize traveling by car, in which a journey from A to B is no longer routine as cars in the near-future will encourage a sense of play, exploration and learning. This is the image engineers and designers from Toyota Motor Europe (TME) and the consultancy arm of Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) have developed for Toyota’s “Window to the World” vehicle concept, which was displayed at the ACEA “Our Future Mobility Now” exhibition in Brussels, Belgium. The concept re-defines the relationship between passengers in a vehicle and the world around it by transforming the vehicle’s windows into an interactive interface. Using augmented reality, what used to be a pane of glass, begins to provide passengers with information about landmarks and other objects as they go past. The window can also be used as a canvas for drawings, which then interacts with the passing environment. Engineers and designers from TME’s Kansei1 Design Division teamed up with CIID to develop this concept in the context of near-future mobility. Instead of creating a concept simply with strong visual aesthetics, they aimed to create beautiful and intangible experiences to address specific needs and desires, to bring genuine value to the vehicle’s passengers. The new methodologies within the design strategy created by Kansei will strongly influence and guide the mid- to long-term vision of the future model line-up for Toyota and Lexus. Abdul Latif Jameel Company (ALJ) has represented Toyota Motor Corporation in Saudi Arabia since 1955 as sole distributor of Toyota brands in the Kingdom and honors the dealership by providing world-class service excellence supported by a kingdom-wide network of sales outlets and service centers.
