The emergence of new materials formed into complex shapes, with new colors and textures, and illuminated with LED lighting technology has provided the car industry with many new design opportunities.
These new developments, while meeting the needs of today’s consumers, have also posed potential problems for driver visual comfort and safety in the form of unwanted reflections, glare, and visual impairment.
Drivers, perceive and interpret visual data and make critical decisions based on what they see, so designing their Human Machine Interfaces poses specific challenges.
OPTIS Simulation results showing how dashboard instrumentation and GPS screen will be perceived depending on environment and time of day.
Notice how the virtual prototype predicts unwanted reflections in the windshield -allowing them to be overcome early in the design process.
The only way to effectively optimize the efficiency of the HMI is to take into account human vision. OPTIS solutions are the only ones to do this.
Use SPEOS Technology to :
Avoid costly design mistakes and prove your concepts before committing to physical prototype.

- Check there is no conflict between lighting elements which would distract the driver, cause fatigue or visual discomfort.
- Take into account visual perception based on a unique physiological human vision model
- Simulate your complete interior as it will be seen in the driving environment, day or night and in all kinds of weather conditions
- Simulate latest lighting technologies (LEDs, OLEDs…) taken from OPTIS Libraries
- Take into account material and light source optical properties to guarantee realism
- Check compliance with international industry-specific and OEM standards

OPTIS has adopted the International Color Consortium (ICC) standards, and applied them to its range of SPEOS Technology-based software.
The SPEOS technology is integrated in 3 of the world’s most widely used CAD software : SOLIDWORKS® and CATIA V5® by Dassault Systèmes, and Pro/ENGINEER® by PTC.
