How does the virtual cockpit in the Audi A7 function?

I'm interested in the technology behind the virtual cockpit in the Audi A7. Can someone explain how it works and how it differs from traditional instrument panels?

The virtual cockpit in the Audi A7 is a fully digital display that replaces the traditional instrument panel. It functions by displaying information directly onto a high-resolution 12.3-inch LCD screen, giving drivers a customizable and clear view of important vehicle data.

Unlike traditional instrument panels, the virtual cockpit in the Audi A7 allows for multiple displays and can be configured to show a variety of information, from navigation maps to media playback controls.
