Foxcon and Sharp imagine a sofa and television in a connected electric van
Japanese electronics giant Sharp and its majority stakeholder, Foxconn, have unveiled an electric vehicle that features, among other mod cons, an “extended living room.”
The Sharp LDK+ concept vehicle, which will debut at an exhibition in Tokyo next week, features rear seats that rotate backwards to form a private movie theater complete with a 65-inch screen. Side windows come with liquid crystal virtual shutters to improve privacy and darken the interior.
According to Sharp, the transmutable interior focuses on “time when the vehicle is stopped” and can “fulfill the dream of having one more room” .
“It can be used not only as an immersive theater room or a children’s play area, but also for remote work where you want to concentrate alone”, suggested the consumer electronics conglomerate.
