Cars are quickly evolving from metal shells built for simple transportation into advanced computers on wheels. One of the most important aspects of this evolution is how the user interacts with the technology, and that is where SHOEI’s innovative touch panels come into play. SHOEI has been able to stay ahead of the latest trends in the industry. For example, the company sourced high-grade German wide plate glass and applied industry leading technology, including customized wiring systems and white resin dot spacer printing to give a resistive feeling. SHOEI’s passion for innovation is illustrated by the company’s development of automotive HUDs (Head- Up Displays) with 3D technology and its work on Coca-Cola’s vending machines in Japanese train stations. We spoke with president, Satoru Horikawa, to find out more about the company and its technology.
