driverless, our lives organized largely by digital services.”
Digital technologies for an analogue experience To take advantage of this digital world, the BMW Motorrad VISION NEXT 100 takes the analogue riding experience to a new level where the sensation of freedom is made possible by intelligent connectivity between rider, bike and the outside world to allow the constant processing of critical sit- uations on the road ahead. Together with active assistance systems,
these connected elements will help keep riders in complete control of their ride and help to anticipate what lies ahead while alerting the rider when action is needed.
"Self-balancing" – active, intel- ligent assistant systems In certain situations, the active assistance systems of the future will enhance stability and safety by automatically balancing the
motorcycle either when moving or stopped. Novice riders will especially benefit from this additional help in all riding situations and from a bike that will never tip over. Additionally, the BMW Motorrad
VISION NEXT 100 will remain standing even when the rider has dismounted. The balancing systems will also work while on the road to ensure a particularly agile and dynamic riding experience with even lighter handling, which seasoned riders will appreciate while using all the benefits of the assistance systems to enhance their capa- bilities even further.
The Digital Companion – Connected. Ubiquitous. Discreet. When combined, the BMW Motorrad VISION NEXT 100 motorcycle and the rider’s gear have been designed form a sin- gle functional unit. “A key point with the BMW Motorrad
VISION NEXT 100 was to make sure the constant digital presence doesn’t
undermine the analogue riding experience. The display and operating concept works so subtly that the rider can enjoy an entirely natural biking experience, trusting the bike completely and enjoying complete freedom and ease. As interface designers, our job is to deliver the right amount of the right information at the best possible time and place," explains Holger Hampf, Head of User Experience at the BMW Group.
The visor – the right information at the right time Information exchanges between rider and bike take place largely via the visor. This essentially consists of a pair of data glasses that extends across the wearer’s entire field of vision. In addition to providing wind protection, the visor shows relevant data in one of four designated display areas and are controlled by the rider’s eye movements: looking up or down changes the content that appears, and looking straight ahead switches the information off completely,
