How does Audi's virtual cockpit work in the A6 model?

I am interested in purchasing an Audi A6 and have heard about the virtual cockpit feature. How does this feature work and how does it enhance the driving experience? Are there any drawbacks to using the virtual cockpit?

The virtual cockpit in the Audi A6 is a fully customizable digital display that replaces the traditional instrument cluster. It can show information such as navigation, media, and vehicle data all in one place, making it easier to access while driving. As for drawbacks, some may find the digital display distracting and not as user-friendly as traditional analog gauges.

The system is controlled via a rotary knob and buttons on the steering wheel, making it easy to navigate through menus without taking your hands off the wheel. The virtual cockpit also includes Google Earth and Street View, providing a more immersive navigation experience.

One great feature of the virtual cockpit is that it can display information in 3D, making it easier to visualize and understand. It also has a sport mode that displays a larger, central tachometer and performance information.
