Augmented Reality and Internet of Things Connect in Automotive

Augmented Reality is beginning to emerge as an option for visualizing data produced by connected objects and systems. Some call these networks of sensors and processors the Internet of Things. In this post by Harish Nivas on the IOTWorm blog, the author describes how this will work in the automotive industry.

The post begins by describing some of the consumer use cases that help customers select options for their future vehicles. Then it describes how eKurzinfo, a 2013 AR project done by Audi for its 2015 A3 model, brought the car’s user manual to life.

With the advent of sensors and connected vehicles, the post suggests that drivers and passengers will be safer and be able to see in their environment the data from the connected environment: live traffic feeds, weather updates and point and learn content. While these are use cases focusing on consumers, the same information could apply to industrial and commercial vehicles in the future.
