A complete electric vehicle HMI built in Rive, designed to connect to a real vehicle. It covers a driver cluster and an infotainment system. The driver cluster includes a speedometer, battery level, range, gear selector, drive mode, and current song display. All responding to real data and ready to plug into a live vehicle. The infotainment system features a 3D car model running in Unreal Engine, controlled directly through Rive buttons via Blueprints. You can open doors, hood, shutters, sunroof, and toggle lights. A real two way connection, not a baked animation. It also includes a music player with full playback controls ready to connect to any streaming service, and a climate control center. The biggest highlight is the AI agent. A conversational UI built entirely in Rive, connected to a live backend. It can control things in the car like opening doors, adjusting temperature, toggling the sunroof. It can also answer questions about the vehicle. This is not a mockup. The interaction is real and demonstrated in the video. This was a fun challenge to be part of. I ran out of time towards the end and had plans to build a bigger demo to showcase everything properly, but I'm happy with what I managed to finish. It pushed Rive into territory I haven't seen before. Data binding, scripting, 3D integration with Unreal Engine, and AI backend connectivity all in one build.

After exploring a range of sci-fi interface concepts, I shifted toward a neomorphic approach to bring in more tactility and depth. The goal was to make the EV display feel less abstract, something more intuitive, approachable, and human to interact with.

This evolved into my most in-depth Rive project to date. With more time, I would have expanded it further by adding additional modes and translating the experience into a fully realized 3D scene. The quality of work others submitted was incredibly inspiring and pushed me to think bigger about what’s possible. As a solo designer, I’d love to collaborate with other Rive artists in the future and build on ideas like this together.
