Hey Contra community! We’re back with the Vehicle HMI with Rive Challenge!
This time... $15,000 is up for grabs!
Show us your best vehicle HMI (Human-Machine Interface) built with Rive. Think cockpit HUDs, instrument clusters, media centers, or companion apps. It doesn't have to be a car. Boats, planes, spacecraft, submarines, sci-fi vehicles. Get creative.
Checkout the guidelines here!
Polishing up the music control center for my HMI entry. Rebuilt the song list scroller using Rive scripting. Originally used the layout scroll feature, but scripting gives way more control and keeps things clean.
Everything is databound and ready to hook up to Spotify or any streaming API. Might test that if I have time before the deadline.
This is part of a bigger EV dashboard where the entire vehicle is controlled through AI tool calling(climate, windows, driving modes, music...). More on that coming.🙌
Car interfaces keep gaining features, but experience gets lost in complexity. With River, we stripped that back: only surface what the driver needs, when they need it.
We wanted the HMI to belong to the car, not sit on top. So we designed both as one system: car, interior, cluster, main display, app.
Rive was key to bringing the whole system to life. We used joysticks and blend states to animate the cluster gauges, solos to play back a pre-rendered Blender navigation scene on the central display, and state machine inputs to bring the whole prototype to life.
We then built a companion app and plugged it into a manufacturer's API to test against real vehicle data. The app works like a key: gives you access and gets out of the way. Just the right function at the right moment.
One ecosystem where every screen earns its place.
This is so good it almost feels unreal. Incredible work and amazing efforts! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
