How does the 'virtual cockpit' feature work in the Audi A4?

I've heard about the virtual cockpit feature in the Audi A4 but I'm not sure how it works or what it does. Can you explain it to me?

The virtual cockpit is a digital display that replaces traditional analog gauges and can be personalized to the driver's preferences. It provides a clear and customizable view of important information such as speed, navigation, and vehicle stats.

I find the virtual cockpit to be a very useful feature, especially on long drives. It reduces the need to constantly look down at the dashboard and allows me to keep my eyes on the road.
