What is Audi A3's Virtual Cockpit technology and how does it work?

I've heard about Audi A3's Virtual Cockpit but I'm not sure what it is and how it works. Can someone explain it to me?

The Audi A3's Virtual Cockpit is a fully digital instrument cluster that replaces traditional analog gauges. It displays all necessary driving information such as speed, navigation, and entertainment in high-resolution graphics. To control it, you can use the steering wheel buttons or the MMI touchpad located on the center console.

Think of Audi A3's Virtual Cockpit as a customizable and futuristic dashboard. You can choose between different layouts and modes that suit your preference and needs. It also allows for quick and easy access to settings and functions, reducing driver distraction.
