One of the big stars of SXSWi 2013 was Leap Motion. They were working on a new way to interface with machines in 3D space. Using gestures and hand movements instead of swipes, it promised to add another dimension to interfaces.
The Product Innovation team partnered with Leap Motion and Evox Images to create the "Driver's Seat" app. A totally new way to explore new cars.
As it was a new way to interact with the digital world, we had to rethink everything about the interface and break new ground in visual and user experience. The result was a bold yet intuitive way to explore new vehicles.
