Bentley shares the secret of “ageless” digital screens

The head of the Bentley design bureau, Stefan Zilaff, said that when developing a virtual dashboard for the new Flying Spur and Continental GT, stylists took the principle of skeuomorphism as a basis, that is, they tried to implement the usual analog instruments in the digital interface – three-dimensional dials and dials of instruments.

A skeuomorphic design approach will allow Bentley interiors to age with cars. In addition, the owner can always resort to the “digital detox” – turn down the brightness of the virtual dashboard display and display only the necessary data – speedometer and tachometer, engine temperature and power reserve sensors, time and ambient temperature.

In addition, instead of the 12.3-inch touchscreen of the media system in the center of the front panel, you can display the analog devices of the thermometer, compass and stopwatch, or even turn the trihedral panel to the “empty” side.
