It seems that augmented reality has been taken a step further, as Toyota aims to implement the technology in their automobile designs.
Toyota Motor Europe’s Kansei Design Division has unveiled a conceptual interactive touchscreen window. It will reportedly be capable of “Drawing in Motion”, “zooming into captured moments in time”, translating languages, tracking distances and can create “virtual constellations” on a car’s ceiling.
The goal is to keep children busy and entertained during road trips, which I’m sure a majority of parents will greatly appreciate. The interactive window concept also promotes children’s curiosity about their environment and the objects they pass outside.
For a concept demonstration, view the video below:
