Changing up perceptions when it comes to PC peripherals and how they are designed, the Audi Layer is a stylishly modern piece of equipment that combines multiple devices into one.
The Audi Layer features a trackpad that can double as a tablet surface when used with the incorporated stylus, while the unit also features a sleek mouse and QWERTY keyboard. When all the components are kept stored together, the Audi Layer looks like a discrete piece of equipment that is suitable to be kept on display rather than hidden away, which is a common formality for many PC peripherals.
The Audi Layer is the design work of Jarim Koo and identifies how car brands could continue to expand into the lifestyle space to offer consumers more product options.
