Announced Kyocera’s second “Moeye” concept car
On September 29, Kyocera announced the development of a “Moeye” concept car equipped with many unique devices. An information session was held.
Moeye is the second concept car made by Kyocera. With the spread of automated driving and MaaS (Mobility as a Service), we focused on the importance of interior space and developed a future cabin that brings surprise and comfort with a completely original design vehicle.
As a symbolic function, in collaboration with Professor Masahiko Inami from the University of Tokyo Center for Advanced Science and Technology, a part of the cockpit is rendered transparent using original optical camouflage technology to expand the driver’s field of vision. In addition, it is equipped with many unique Kyocera devices that entertain the human sense of sight, touch, hearing and smell, and has safety and entertainment, which are important as a car, and it is a concept that asks the world about Kyocera’s vision of the future automotive world. It’s a car.
Also, although the specific specifications are undecided, it is said to be built on the EV (electric vehicle) self-driving vehicle concept.

At the briefing on the same day, Mr. Masayoshi Inagaki, Executive Director and Senior General Manager of Kyocera’s Research and Development Division, presented the development concept. With the idea that CASE is “the same as traveling by train or taxi”, Moeye is not just a “box” that just moves, but “a reminder of the adventure that was kept deep in my heart”. Said it had developed.

Next, Mr. Yuji Shintani from the Mobility Promotion Division, Automotive Business Promotion Office, Kyocera Research and Development Headquarters said, “I want to feel the space with my body and remove the limits of the car itself.” and explained the technology adopted.
The distinctive interior is the transparency of the cockpit with optical camouflage technology, the aerial UI (user interface) display with autostereoscopic display and the HAPTIVITY touch transmission technology mounted on the instrument panel and center console. , CERAPHIC LED lighting that produces light close to natural light, “Kyoto Opal” decoration of artificial jewelry created by Kyocera, vibrating speaker using a piezoelectric element, aromatic fragrance that injects 5 types of aromas, etc. We made it possible to experience other things besides taste.
For the transparency of the cabin, optical camouflage technology is adopted in the position of a simple board. 1.2m screen is placed. Eight cameras mounted on the front of the vehicle create an image of the exterior of the vehicle from the passenger’s point of view and project it as if it appears transparent. In addition, the dashboard can also display clear and realistic 3D images.
The aerial display using original Kyocera technology forms a projected image from a high-performance liquid crystal display in the space above the dash, allowing a clear and realistic stereoscopic vision to the naked eye of the original character “Mobisuke.” . Mobisuke is said to have functions such as car operating instructions and hospitality.
LED lighting ceramics are used for ceiling and door lights. Since the spectrum can be customized, delicate color expression that was difficult with ordinary LED lighting is possible, and a comfortable space is created with lighting that imagines natural light such as sunlight through trees and the sunset.
In addition, the instrument panel and center console are equipped with HAPTIVITY, which generates minimal vibrations when the panel is touched with a finger and transmits the click. By realizing the tactile feeling of pressing a button in conjunction with the operation of the user interface, it is possible not only to view the image, but also to operate with a realistic touch feeling.
In terms of hearing, it is equipped with a vibrating speaker that uses a piezoelectric element to provide powerful sound in the cabin. It is said to create a comfortable space that you can enjoy with your ears. In addition, the headrest is also equipped with a vibrating speaker, which can provide clear sound to the driver’s ears.

The interior and exterior design concept is “Timeless”, designed by Fortmarei, a design studio in Kyoto, as a completely original one. Ryuhei Ishimaru, President and CEO of Fortmarei, explained the details.
Moeye’s design theme is “time” and it is designed to provide an experience that traces the history of automobiles, from past traditions to the future of Kyocera-drawn automobiles.
Specifically, it makes a classic impression when viewed from a distance, and as you get closer to the car you can see details for the future, such as the geometric design of the exterior mirror and the headlight with the exterior camera. And when the door is opened, the interior that incorporates the latest technology appears, making it possible to feel the future from tradition.
Mr. Ishimaru is also designing the first model of Kyocera’s concept car, and Moeye said, “I designed it with the hope of becoming a car that opens up the future of Kyocera and the future of automobiles.”

Additionally, Professor Masahiko Inami from the University of Tokyo Advanced Science and Technology Research Center explained the optical camouflage technology adopted by Moeye. Finally, Mr. Yasushi Nakajima, Manager of the Mobility Promotion Division, Automotive Trade Promotion Office, Kyocera Research and Development Headquarters, said: “We are focusing on the moving space, thinking that automatic driving and MaaS developments are progressing and new courage will be required for the movement in the future. “I did it,” he said, developing Moeye with an eye toward future prospects.
