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.
