00:16E-Ink è un cambiamento colore, è incredibile, è magico.
00:21Le possibilità di E-Ink sono quasi infinite.
00:31La idea di un E-Ink è iniziato a few anni fa con la tecnologia.
00:36Quando ho questa tecnologia in mano, ho pensato che era una cosa speciale,
00:40una cosa differenta, e che ho provato il nostro prodotto.
00:43Il step che iniziato a creare un E-Ink è iniziato a mettere un E-Ink iniziato a mettere una
00:50cosa che è molto 2D,
00:51come E-Ink, è come una stifte cardiazza, a una cosa che è molto 3D, come i cari.
00:58So, we take the car as a large 3D object, and we break it down into sections.
01:03Once we have these 3D sections, we unwrap from 3D into 2D.
01:09When we unwrap, and we use computer-aided design,
01:12it's important that we maintain information about the curvature of the car at the important points.
01:18Generative design is kind of a mighty tool that we use in modelling.
01:22Different to normally computer-aided styling programmes,
01:26you are not creating a shape itself,
01:29but you are creating a kind of algorithm that creates a shape.
01:34One great example is the kidney of the I-Ink.
01:36If you take a closer look, you will find each triangle differs to the next one.
01:41So, they differ in size, in the distance to each other,
01:44and also in the three-dimensionality along the pattern.
01:46And this is designed with an algorithm in the background.
01:55We do many tests with paper, and once we're sure that it's perfect,
02:00then we laser the I-Ink.
02:02And then we have lots of little 2D parts that we have to adhere to the car.
02:05And you do that, you repeat that many times.
02:12And at the end of the day, we have to coat the car.
02:15So, we have to seal it in.
02:17Of course, the automotive robustness is important to us,
02:20so that it can stand up at the weather conditions,
02:22and it's robust against being hit.
02:28So, final coating is then the final step.
02:31And of course, there's a bunch of electronics and programming that comes after that.
02:39E-Ink can improve our products in three ways.
02:43So, first is personalization, individualization.
02:47You decide what you want to wear, what your social media status is,
02:52and you can decide what your car looks like.
02:54Secondly, information.
02:57E-Ink could help us portray useful information externally.
03:01The status of the battery, or you can't find your car.
03:04We can make the car flash, and then you see it in your peripheral vision,
03:08and you know where to go.
03:10The third use of E-Ink in automotive is a functional use.
03:15Through colour, we can control sunlight reflection and thermal properties.
03:20We can change the entire car to essentially support climate control and to save energy.
03:31With this project, the IX, what we essentially have is a lowest resolution possible,
03:37a single pixel car that changes entirely.
03:42One great benefit is that it doesn't consume energy.
03:46Only when you switch it, it needs a bit of power,
03:48and then it can stay in this state without any power.
03:52So, that makes it the perfect material.
03:55So, that makes it the perfect material.
03:58.
