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 something really cool! Love it.
This is so good it almost feels unreal. Incredible work and amazing efforts! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You really know your cars
good
Man, this was one of the beautiest usages of Rive I ever seen
So classy and cool 🔥
wow, i really like how you use grey color here
Your work truly shows your dedication.
The blend states for the gauges are a smart use of Rive. Most HMI concepts treat the cluster and infotainment as separate worlds, nice to see them designed as one system.
Super clean and modern - nice one @Paweł Andrzejewski !
This speaks to me!
Amazing!!
"One ecosystem where every screen earns its place" — what a line. The Rive state machine + Blender pre-render combo is so smart for a realistic HMI prototype. This is the standard for vehicle UX work!
SOOO SICKKKK 🔥🔥
This is amazint 😍
Wow great 💯
This is incredible
looks amazing
Looks magnificent!🔥
This is amazing
super smooth!
This is great work Pawel. Stripping things back is always harder than adding more, especially when you’re dealing with multiple surfaces like this. Designing it as one system instead of separate touchpoints makes a big difference. It feels more intentional, less like a collection of features.
fire!

Hey folks, nice to meet you all. I’m Keorattana, a designer based in Sydney, Australia.
This is my entry for the Vehicle HMI with Rive challenge.
Sprinta — a speculative Vehicle HMI concept for a futuristic racing system, centred around a cinematic HUD
This was my first time working in Rive. It was a bit of a learning curve, but a genuinely fun one. I learned a lot through the process and can already see how powerful it is for like playful game interfaces and sci-fi HUDs and HMIs.
The interface was designed in Adobe Illustrator, then brought into Rive to animate and prototype. I exported it as a PNG sequence and composited it into a driving scene I created in Blender, imagining how it might exist in motion within a larger world.
This is part of an ongoing exploration into racing interfaces, speculative systems and visual world-building.
This feels like the beginning of a larger system I want to keep building.
This is wild! So unique style. I love it 😍 Great work!
What if your blockchain landing page actually felt like the future?
For Luntra Infrastructure, we designed a high-end landing page experience with a strong Web3 narrative and premium 3D animation.
The goal was to communicate complex value fast:
AI-powered security, OP Stack performance, Ethereum compatibility — all presented through clean hierarchy, sharp typography, and cinematic depth.
We structured the experience around what builders care about most:
Gaming, Apps, DeFi, and Enterprise — each section designed to feel modular, scalable, and “built for builders.”

Hi everyone, here is my submission for the challenge.
I’ve built a dynamic car interface that balances a universal feel with total flexibility. The idea was to create an HMI that shifts and adapts to both the driving mode and the driver’s mood. It’s built on a modular system, so there are plenty of ways to configure it for any use case.
Riv to play with:

Nice! Very smooth transitions. 👍
