AviCoS: Avatar Replaces Owner's Manual

Caption

Displayed on the monitor of the Audi Mulitmedia Interface that comes standard in all new Audi models, an avatar supports the driver with explicit information on the vehicle in a natural-language dialog -- supported by images and videos. The system can be triggered by spoken questions or by touching controls, making cumbersome paging through owner’s manuals a thing of the past.
