Smart Cabins and redefining the driving experience.
This collaboration strives to create a unique in-vehicle user
experience by accelerating seamless lighting integration into all
surfaces of future vehicle interiors. The IMSE technology offers a
fresh unique design and styling principles for slim, compact
configurations and unconventional shapes.

transformation of the automotive sector. With our IMSE technology
platform, we aim for this partnership to seamlessly merge the
visual appeal, tactile experience, and functionality of vehicle
interiors. Together, we are creating experiences for the end user
