Gauge clusters of cars of today may not be something that anyone really gives a damn about but if NVIDIA and icon have their way, they will soon becomes a rage that everyone wants to get into.

Computer graphics company NVIDIA and icon are set to collaborate in the making of a 3D gauge cluster that looks super cool. The images her which are the proof of concept that the companies will be shelling out to automakers show the standard speedometer and fuel gauge. The gauge cluster will also display radio and navigation info. The images certainly look good enough for the concept to move into the manufacturing stage, but it would have to look better than this to compete with LCD displays with animation that other designers have come up with.

The evolution of cars has gotten to the stage where parts move on to the next stage individually, without waiting for the rest of the car to catch up. This piece will also be all digital, making conversions on the gauge cluster extremely easy.
