How does the Audi A7's Virtual Cockpit work?

I've heard about the Audi A7's Virtual Cockpit but I'm not sure how it works. Can someone explain it to me?

The Audi A7's Virtual Cockpit is a fully digital instrument cluster that replaces traditional analog gauges and displays vital information on a high-resolution screen. It can be customized to display maps, media, vehicle data, and more. To operate it, simply use the steering wheel controls or the rotary dial on the center console.

I have been using the Audi A7 with Virtual Cockpit for a year now and it has completely changed my driving experience. I highly recommend taking the time to set it up according to your preferences, it's worth it!
