Augmented Reality Auto Maintenance for BMWs

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed. Look forward to seeing you at the world's first Immersive Tech Summit!

BMW is in the midst of developing an Augmented Reality maintenance system for its mechanics. You can see how this can increase efficiency, virtually eliminate errors and reduce training even for extremely complex maintenance.

Although, I believe this is a concept video rather than an actual video of the system in action, you can see some of the key goals. A wireless lightweight headset, voice recognition, animated visual augmentation as well as verbal guidance.

Augmented Reality Real-time Repair Manual

By David Y Tan  Oct 27, ‘09

Repairing and maintaining your car and complex machinery will never be the same again. AR Technology being developed at Columbia University in cooperation with the US military shows the mechanic in real time what to do next.

Virtual images of parts to be replaced, the bolts that need to be removed and even the direction they need to be turned are superimposed on the real-time view of the engine.

Not surprisingly, studies have shown that the AR “repair manual” is much more effective than the traditional 2D computer screen based version of the same instructions.

Wildlife’s fate is in your hands – China Campaign

Everyday, 30,000 hectares of wildlife’s forest homes disappear. That’s about 4 times the size of Paris! Witness how displaced wildlife struggles to cope outside its habitat.

We developed the world’s first mobile application where a virtual bear interacts with real environment, in real time. Through your mobile, you can control wildlife’s fate virtually and for real. Virtually, point your phone anywhere and see the bear bump into walls, trip down stairs, get run over by moving cars, and become defenseless against humans.

In real life, you can easily sign up with WWF or share our cause using your phone.
Join WWF China’s Biodiversity Protection Program. Wildlife’s fate is in your hands.
