MINI\u2019s new Augmented Vision Concept at the Shanghai Auto Show<\/h1>\n

When car companies announce they are bringing out something new, they usually mean a new shape or changing the interior quality. However, MINI a BMW<\/strong><\/a> subsidiary decided to alter the way you see reality. Have you been waiting for a heads-up display that works like Google Glass?<\/p>\n

MINI has the new<\/strong><\/a> Augmented Vision concept: A set of peculiar proportioned goggles that augment your vision with visual notifications that bring relevant information off of dashboard displays and directly into the driver\u2019s field of vision.<\/p>\n

The new concept is developed for the Shanghai Auto Show.<\/p>\n

This Augmented Vision concept<\/strong><\/a> is built around a Qualcomm-powered set of fashionable specs with a built-in, see through display. When properly installed on your face like Iron-Man\u2019s mask, the goggles can project GPS navigation, heads-up display speed limit warning, and notifications when you\u2019ve received text message. It also displays destination and parking info.<\/p>\n

However, the coolest feature may be \u201cX-Ray View,\u201d which allows drivers to \u201csee\u201d through certain parts of the car that produce blind spots, such as the A-pillars and doors. Augmented Vision isn\u2019t meant for production, but it demonstrates how augmented-reality technology could be used in future cars, MINI says.<\/p>\n

MINI says the fact that Augmented Vision\u2019s projections don\u2019t obscure actual obstacles or other road users actually improves safety.<\/p>\n
