According to BMW CEO Oliver Zipse, the car "demonstrates the possibilities that the combination of hardware and software opens up". This allows the driver to use the digital potential. The central control is a mixed reality slider that transforms the windshield into a portal of digital experiences periodically. Shy-Tech technology touch sensors allow the vehicle owner to set digital content levels. [3] In terms of dimensions, the model is close to the BMW 3 Series. [4] To communicate with the driver, a voice assistant is built into the car. He expresses emotions not only with his voice, but also with lighting equipment. Instead of touch screens, there is a head-up display on the windshield. The car also changes color. [5]
The i Vision Dee is planned to mass-produced in 2025. [6] [7]

An automotive head-up display or automotive heads-up display — also known as an auto-HUD — is any transparent display that presents data in the automobile without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from a pilot being able to view information with the head positioned "up" and looking forward, instead of angled down looking at lower instruments. At this time, there are three different approaches to OEM HUDs in automobiles. The first is to treat the back of the windshield in such a way that an image projected onto it will reflect to the driver. The second is to have a small combiner that is separate from the windshield. Combiners can be retracted. The third is to laminate a transparent display in between layers of the windshield glass.
