Vision of the future
MINI reveals the shape of things to come at the Auto Shanghai 2015 with a pioneering innovation.
"MINI Augmented Vision gives an insight into how intelligent connectivity between a MINI car and eyewear into which relevant content is projected might work in the future," explained Jrg Preiinger, project-manager MINI Augmented Vision, BMW Group research and technology.
"Working with several Qualcomm companies, we have created an interlinked system and augmented reality eyewear with a characteristic MINI design that revolutionise the experience both in and outside the vehicle. This prototype with its customised, interactive functions succeeds in fusing augmented reality with the brand's trademark sense of lifestyle."
