Excellent! It's really coming together.

I made a trip out to the Tesla store with my UI designer last night to do some research on how well their screen works. And if you guys haven't already I suggest you all go to one of their mall locations and just check the car out. It's pretty amazing and their screen operates so smoothly. It gives me high hopes for my User Interface!

The design is coming along very well, I will post some more pictures once I get home of both the progress and the adventure to Tesla!

Here is a few pictures that were snapped while we were out at the Tesla Store. Their screen interface was a thing of beauty, and it works flawlessly. It gave us a few ideas on how to lay things out and we are getting very excited start delving into the user interface!

I took some time out of designing last night to take a photo of my dash piece as it is now. There has been quite a bit of progress and I wanted to share it with the community. I bought a 370Z model from a website called Turbosquid, anybody into the 3d design field will probably know of it. It was a pretty impressive model and really helps to show of my dash piece and what it will actually look like.

As you can see this 10" screen is going to be massive in the space we have. Jeez I can't wait! I'm so close now to sending it off to get my 3d printed prototype!

Very cool!

Holy smokes! That thing does look massive, but it also looks extremely cool. What's your timetable look like from here on out?

LAVA · 10-12-2015, 01:11 PM

damn, that looks a hell of a lot bigger than a 10" screen

Hey thanks man! Right now since the only time I have to design is late nights and weekends, my goal is to have the prototype installed in my car by the beginning of the year.

Hahaha well it actually is much bigger. The overall size including bezel makes it out to be 13.5" x 8.875". And thank you I honestly forgot that I had gone with the 13.3" on the diagonal. So actual screen size is roughly 11.5" x 6.5". Still huge for our Z's.

My questions seeing it in place now is, what are your plans for the A/C control knows, looks like you will be covering them up?

They will be integrated into and controlled from the screen. similarly to how the Tesla Model S has their controls. There are boards out there called phidgets which allows you to take the analog signal (from the switches) and change it to digital (from the pc). The most challenging part for that will be the coding necessary to make it work.

Digitally it will look similar to the top right picture.

That would be impractical and badass! Sign me up!

All I can say is did you go to MIT or something? This is excellent work!
