UMPC VW Car demonstrated at IDF

1 Here are more in depth pictures of the UMPC VW (UMPC stands for Ultra Mobile PC, which was also known as Origami as per the Microsoft code name prior to launch). UMPCs are ultra light computing devices that you can carry with you and thanks to WiFi and WiMax connect to the Internet from just about anywhere.

The UMPC demo at Intel Developer Forum involved an UMPC that was connected to the Internet via WiMax and then connected to the VW car via WiFi. WIth a set up like this you could send entertainment content to the car from your UMPC, such as movies or music. Of course, there is nothing that prevents the car from connecting directly to the Internet. In that case the UMPC can be simply included on board.

Additional to the dash display, there were two additional screens mounted behind the front seats for the viewing pleasure of the passengers on the back of the car. Very useful for parents with little kids.

The dash screen. Simple, easy to use touch screen menus.

Here is another way to mount the streetdeck unit on board, through a cup holder mount.
