Passengers in an Audi will have more entertainment in the future. This is how the VR technology works that will be available from June.
Quite possibly, one of the candidate words for word of the year in 2021 could be ‘metaverse’, right? The truth is that virtual reality glasses have been with us for some time, but their potential has not been extracted. Companies like Meta have decided to stake everything on this potential market, whose success is not guaranteed. The adoption of this technology has a long way to go yet, so it is early to venture its future.
Be that as it may, some top-tier companies are making their first steps in the field. Virtual reality has a whole set of solutions to contribute. Its implementation is difficult, there is no doubt about that, but the possibilities are very diverse. Can we be before the next big revolution in the digital age? This proposal should certainly not be ruled out. Be that as it may, important advances are expected in the automotive field.
The arrival of autonomous driving will only encourage its growth in the coming years. Even so, the truth is that the role of the driver will continue to be fundamental, since Level 5 driving autonomy will take still a while. Be that as it may, why has Audi just signed the agreement with a company specializing in VR technology? Holoride, a company capable of developing a parallel universe of cartoons, has managed to reach an agreement with Audi.
The key to this cooperation is based on entertaining passengers other than the driver during the journey. To do this, all you have to do is put on the HTC Vive Flow glasses and enjoy a unique experience in the sector. Thanks to a conjunction directly related to displacement, it allows get a first-person representation of the most curious. From creating a cartoon environment with which to be our own character to being one of the dinosaur era.
All this, moreover, will be possible within a very short time. More specifically, the agreement has a starting date of next June. Well, what does it consist of in a more personalized way? Here are some of the Keys to understand where the market can turn entertainment in the car and, of course, what are some of the keys to understanding the future of audiovisual technology.
HTC Vive Flow glasses to escape on the go
As can be read in the specialized portal New Atlas, Audi and Holoride have managed to come to an agreement to take passenger transport to a new dimension. Audi Electronics Venture GmbH started with the project, for later, break away from the group and form Holoride. After hard work, the results of the research give us as a result a technology with great potential ahead.
As can be seen in the previous images, it will suffice to put on the glasses to abstract from the trip and go to a new dimension on the way. Thanks to its perfect compatibility with the movement of the vehicle, a level of realism is achieved at the height of what is expected from a technology of these characteristics. Even so, its main hallmark is directly related to the environment that is provided and its many possibilities in it.
The models that will be compatible with this entertainment solution will be the Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Q8, e-tron and e-tron GT. Even so, it is unknown if a supplement must be paid in the form of payment for use or, simply, the complete equipment will be available at the time of sale with the package included. Even so, it predicts much more fun journeys, especially for passengers who sit in the rear. After all, they will have greater freedom of movement.
A program that advances new solutions for the coming months
One of the qualities of this innovation program lies in the possibility of increasing the possibilities of using this technology. Adding new universes with new invoice themes will allow this solution be one of the bases in terms of equipment in the future. If it is a success, we would find ourselves before a fundamental moment in terms of the expansion of autonomous driving. Without a doubt, we are facing a moment of great complexity in the sector.
who would say that one of the spearheads of VR technology, also called virtual reality, was going to be related to the car? We will have to wait a few weeks to find out in more depth what the foundations of the project are, but having a staging date helps to understand how advanced the program is.
Another key to understanding its great potential is the wide range of models that will have with the possibility of using this technology. This perfectly shows what are some of the fundamental keys to understanding the great potential that this type of product offers.
