11th LA Auto Show Design Challenge focused on 2029 human:transit interface
SYNAPTIQ uses augmented reality, 3D hologram, and wearable technologies

LOS ANGELES/HONG KONG (Nov. 22, 2014) - Infiniti has won the first-ever People's Choice Award as part of the 11th annual Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge with SYNAPTIQ, a unique answer to this year's theme of "Sensing the Future: How Will Cars Interact With Us In 2029?"

Infiniti designers looked toward the future in which augmented reality, 3D hologram, and wearable technologies may be a part of the everyday driving experience, creating a seamless interaction between man and machine.

To demonstrate exactly how these futuristic technologies could be used to make driving even more interactive, the Infiniti Design team imagined a vehicle triathlon called the A.R.C. Race which includes air, rally, and circuit competitions.

For each of the three races, the SYNAPTIQ design provides a universal fuselage for the driver to control each of the different air, rally, and circuit vehicles.

Infiniti's entry received the most online votes from visitors to the LA Auto Show Design Challenge's Facebook® page, allowing the automaker to receive the first-ever People's Choice Award in the program's 11-year history.
