Augmented Reality Windscreen

We’ve all seen the futuristic displays on famous futuristic sci-fi films in which helpful and vital information appears on the mirrors or windows of the character’s vehicles. But as is often the case with sci-fi technology we see in films we are now beginning to see similar systems emerging in real life. Recently we've seen a lot of buzz around Google Glass, but we could soon see similar systems on the windscreens of our cars as well as our eyes.

Technology firm Harman has recently previewed its interactive car windscreen at the Geneva motor show. The system will project a large amount of information onto the driver’s windscreen including things like speed, distance to the car in front, and directions. This information will sit on the windscreen of the driver but the firm ensure that it will be seamless enough as to not be distracting. The system will also feature a sensor that will allow the driver to navigate the system with different hand gestures allowing them to control audio, make phone calls etc.

The system is already becoming popular in various luxury car lines but it is still in its infancy. It will no doubt become a popular system in the cars of the future and here at Mobile CarKit Solutions we will be sure to keep up to date with the systems developments. Check out the video below for a little more information on the system. And don’t forget to check out our online store, in the near future we may be stocking augmented reality windscreens!
