Hyundai to introduce augmented reality manuals for its cars

While Hyundai might not be the first to do this, they are for the first time introducing augmented reality manuals for their cars. It’s not appealing to be reading thick paperback manuals, especially in this age where there’s so much technology in cars, so this solution might work quiet well. The mobile-based Virtual Guide comes with 82 how-to videos, six 3D overlay images, and over 50 informational guides. With the 3D overlay, all you have to do is scan the area of the vehicle, like the engine bay and the images will appear there. It makes use of 2D and 3D tracking technology to help provide information about different parts of the car, just position over the part you want to learn about and then you’re all set. The Virtual Guide will first be available for the 2015 Sonata model and it works for both Android and iOS users.
