Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR 梅赛德斯-奔驰

Where Machine, Human and Nature Combine
当机器,人和自然合为一体

How cool it would be for a Mercedes-Benz to be alive? Inspired by the mega hit movie Avatar, an unprecedented global partnership between two great brands have conceptualized the Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR that was created with a completely new interaction between human, machine and nature. Imagine being inside this living creature that one only needs to place the hand on the control unit, the interior comes to life and the vehicle recognizes the driver by his or her heartbeat and breathing through biometric connection. Not forgetting the immersive experience of space where a menu selection of functionalities will be projected onto the driver’s hand by just simply lifting the hand. Both interior and exterior designs are futuristic yet holistic that were inspired  by creatures in the Avatar movie. 

Besides the fact that this Mercedes-Benz Vision Avatar cannot fly, it has all the out of the world futuristic features that will make the experience of owning a automobile a must have lifestyle for those who can afford on land.

如果一辆奔驰跑车是生物体到底有多酷?受热门电影《阿凡达》的启发,两个大品牌前所未有的全球联动合作,将梅赛德斯-奔驰VISION AVTR概念化,创造了人、机器和自然之间全新互动。想象一下,在这个生物体内,你只需要把手放在控制枢纽上,内部就会有生命,汽车通过生物特征连接,透过心跳和呼吸来识别驾驶者。另外,还有空间沉浸式体验,功能菜单选择都投射在驾驶者的手上,只需轻轻挥动。内部和外部的设计都是未来主义的整体配置,灵感来自电影《阿凡达》中的生物。

奔驰VISION AVTR除了无法飞行这个事实,具有全世界超前的未来形式特质,拥有这辆汽车将成为这片土地上那些有能力的人们趋之若鹜的生活方式。
