 This is Chris from The Verge and I'm standing in front of the BMW iVision Future Interaction Concept. If that's a mouthful, all you really need to know is that it's an i8 Spider that they put a bunch of crazy technology inside of. So it has a new instrument cluster that is 3D, it kind of has two levels, one on top of the other, it's kind of hard to explain. There's a 21 inch display in front of the passenger and the way the driver interacts with that display is where it gets really cool because you just kind of wave your hand around in space and when you point at something on the display, the car knows you're pointing at it and then you can kind of push to select it or you can touch the steering wheel to select it, your choice. Unfortunately this is a static demo, it's not actually working on this car but you can kind of get the idea of what they're going for and obviously the i8 is a production car, this is just without a roof. Now BMW has a few other things here as well. There is a helmet for motorcycle riders that has a heads up display built into it, there's a window in front of one of the rider's eyes and you can show a bunch of different information in that. You can show collision avoidance warnings, speed, fuel, phone notifications, that sort of thing. It's powered by two batteries that give you about five hours of life. They're also showing a connected mirror. Now this is a physical mirror, a pretty large mirror that would go into your bathroom or the foyer of your house and it shows status of your car so you can see where the car is right now, you can see the camera inside of it, you can see the surroundings and you can select different routes if say you need to go to work in the morning, you can choose different routes, you can choose different modes of transportation, see how long they take. So this car, this i8 Spider that I'm standing in front of is brought together with your smart phone through a thing that BMW is calling BMW Connected, which isn't very Google-able but you'll just have to trust me, that's what it's called. But basically this app gives you a bunch of insight into what the car is doing, battery level, fuel range, that sort of thing. You can summon the car to you if it's autonomous, you can send the car away if it needs to be parked and that brings me to the final demo of BMW at CES 2016, which is that they're showing an i3, a self-parking i3, which we actually saw at CES 2015, but the difference is that this time around it's gesture controlled to cause the car to park itself. So you wear a smart watch and when you get out of the car there's a gesture, you kind of wave the car away and it parks itself in a spot. So kind of a parlor trick, no reason you can't just press a button on your watch or your phone or your key fob to park the car, but still pretty cool. So that's about it from BMW at CES 2016, a lot more CES coverage coming up today and later this week, so stay tuned and subscribe to our YouTube channel at The Verge.
 This is Chris from The Verge and I'm standing in front of the BMW iVision Future Interaction
 Concept.
 If that's a mouthful, all you really need to know is that it's an i8 Spider that they
 put a bunch of crazy technology inside of.
 So it has a new instrument cluster that is 3D, it kind of has two levels, one on top
 of the other, it's kind of hard to explain.
 There's a 21 inch display in front of the passenger and the way the driver interacts
 with that display is where it gets really cool because you just kind of wave your hand
 around in space and when you point at something on the display, the car knows you're pointing
 at it and then you can kind of push to select it or you can touch the steering wheel to
 select it, your choice.
 Unfortunately this is a static demo, it's not actually working on this car but you can
 kind of get the idea of what they're going for and obviously the i8 is a production car,
 this is just without a roof.
 Now BMW has a few other things here as well.
 There is a helmet for motorcycle riders that has a heads up display built into it, there's
 a window in front of one of the rider's eyes and you can show a bunch of different information
 in that.
 You can show collision avoidance warnings, speed, fuel, phone notifications, that sort
 of thing.
 It's powered by two batteries that give you about five hours of life.
