Real-time 3D display component used to project dynamic content (signage, directions, hazards) in augmented reality on the vehicle windscreen. This software component has been integrated on embedded automotive hardware in order to perform multiple functional demonstrations.

Client

VALEO CDA (Comfort & Driving Assistance)

Context

Valeo is imagining tomorrow's vehicle navigation experience with its windscreen-based heads-up display technology. The challenge was to offer a driving assistance device combining safety, legibility and accessibility. 3D augmented reality was the logical choice, allowing an unparalleled perception and assimilation of information in the environment.

Development time

Project completed in 4 months, with ongoing support since the delivery of the project:

• User needs study & graphic research
• Production of 2D and 3D content (icons & signage)
• Creation of animated mock-ups for the validation of the design direction
• Development of a dedicated API & editing of the relevant documentation
• Content optimization and integration
• Delivery of the rendering component
• Usability and functionality tests
