By: Preh, Inc. HMI (human machine interface) is the connection between man and machine, where maximum convenience and minimum distraction issues play a central role in the design of operational concepts. Other first place winners included NVIDIA Corporation, and Scania Group/Volkswagen Research for “HMI Design Innovation.” Preh Advanced Development Director Dr. Matthias Lust received the trophy and official certificate at the gala dinner reception, documenting recognized excellence. In addition, the winner received a monetary prize which Preh donated to a charity. To the 140 Congress participants from the international automotive industry, Dr. Lust said, "We are pleased that our center console concept was chosen by an independent jury of experts as the first-place winner. For our advanced development team, this award is recognition and motivation at the same time, while it also demonstrates the vast range of technologies in our company. “More and more, SmartPhones and tablets are influencing the HMI concepts of future vehicle generations. This award also shows that we at Preh have addressed the right issues in our product development, and that ease of operation, as well as driving safety, are not incompatible."
