M.VICS 5.0 Released
Five Panels Connected Including 27-inch Main Screen and 12.3-inch Passenger Seat Screen
Automatic Adjustment of Display Size and Tilt
Hyundai Mobis has developed an ultra-large vehicle display whose size and position adjust according to driving conditions.
On the 11th, Hyundai Mobis unveiled the next-generation integrated cockpit system, 'M.VICS 5.0'. Since first introducing M.VICS in 2021, the world's first system to analyze biometric signals such as the driver's posture, heartbeat, and brainwaves, Hyundai Mobis has been improving it annually.
M.VICS 5.0 was developed under the theme "All You Can See," integrating various display technologies. First, the entire wide front area from the left pillar of the driver's seat to the right pillar of the passenger seat was configured as a seamless large screen.
The entire system consists of five display panels. A 27-inch main screen shows the instrument cluster, map information, and media; a 12.3-inch screen is dedicated to the passenger seat; a 7-inch screen displaying various vehicle status information and button controls operate like one large display. Additionally, a projection display that allows operation of various driving environments through touch and haptic (vibration and other physical feedback) is installed below the large screen. Each display panel functions independently but can be integrated into a single screen when needed.
Moreover, technology that adjusts the size and tilt of the display panels according to driving mode has been integrated. The entire panel moves up and down and its tilt is adjusted. It is explained that the size and position are optimized according to the driving situation. For example, in 'theater mode' for watching video content or 'relax mode' for resting, the steering wheel lowers and the display panel tilt automatically adjusts to match the seat recline.
Depending on whether a passenger is onboard, the driver and passenger seat display screens can be separated to restrict media viewing that may interfere with safe driving. Speakers are installed in the pillars and seat headrests, allowing the driver and passenger to hear different sounds and focus on their desired mode.
Additionally, various technologies such as warning functions to prevent rear-side collision accidents during boarding and alighting, real-time detection of drowsy and inattentive driving, and multiple airbags have been integrated. A Hyundai Mobis official stated, "The M.VICS 5.0 system is a next-generation integrated solution applicable to autonomous vehicles where drivers will have fewer occasions to hold the steering wheel," adding, "We will actively promote it to major global clients."
