The blurring of the lines between racing video games, real life, and gaming.
Automakers are constantly striving to improve their technology, as cars have become rolling computers. Mercedes’ latest navigation system, the MBUX infotainment combines traffic information with graphical navigation to ensure you reach your destination quickly. In future, Augmented Reality will also be available in head up displays .
AR can also be used in the automotive industry to provide a better way for potential customers to specify their cars than traditional websites. Aerolarri, a neat app that uses AR to enable users to (virtually) swap out their real wheels for a custom set, is another example.
Seven alloy wheel designs are available, including four from Forgeline. These can be reproduced perfectly using the original CAD files. There are also a few unofficial Koenigsegg wheel designs. You can try on shoes for the Corvette C8 and McLaren 720S without having to lift the car or get dirty.
Aerolarri blurs the lines between video games, real life, and gaming. You can place a Koenigsegg Gemera or Jesko in front of you, and then “drive off.”
Although nothing can replace the real thing, augmented reality is becoming closer and closer as technology improves and these photo-realistic 3D Holographic overlays become more advanced.
