The Hyperscreen started off as a sketch on the wall at Mercedes' Italian design studio.

Mercedes-Benz on Thursday unveiled the Hyperscreen, a massive single-piece infotainment screen that will be available on the upcoming EQS electric luxury sedan. Gorden Wagener, Daimler's chief of design, talked to reporters in a virtual roundtable to explain more about the Hyperscreen and how it became a reality.


Wagener says the idea for the Hyperscreen first came about years ago, and it all started with a sketch on the wall at Mercedes' now-shuttered interior design studio in Como, Italy. (Mercedes has since opened a new design studio in Côte d'Azur, France. Nice work if you can get it.) "I saw the sketch and said, 'That's amazing, let's make that happen,'" Wagener says. "And we did make it happen! We made it feasible with a partner, and that really amazes me. We have a vision, a little sketch there, and we made it a reality."
