VR glasses, which have been filed for patents, will have navigation support. While driving, VR glasses will reflect information such as the speed that drivers should see.
Samsung continues to draw attention with its patents. Now he has applied for a patent for VR glasses that provide turn-by-turn navigation indicators for drivers. With this patent, which aims to drive the drivers more safely, Samsung enters the VR glasses area with navigation indicator.
VR glasses patent with Samsung navigation indicator draws attention.
South Korea-based technology giant Samsung may have found a unique solution for car drivers to enjoy a safer driving experience. The company has applied for an eyeglasses patent that reflects turn-by-turn navigation directly into the driver's VR glasses.
Today, many vehicles are equipped with some standard high-tech options such as voice control, automatic braking, automatic road driving and even night vision to help detect pedestrians in the dark. In addition, Samsung has found a new solution. According to the solution, virtual reality glasses will reflect information such as current speed directly to the driver's VR glasses instead of displaying them directly on the windshield in front of the driver.
Virtual reality technology investments are increasing in the automotive industry.
The automotive industry is one of the most invested sectors for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies. According to Statista, AR & VR solutions in the global automotive market are expected to reach approximately $673 billion by 2025. At this point, Samsung's application for VR glasses for drivers is not a very new concept in the industry.
People who will watch the information through VR glasses step by step will also have the opportunity to see nearby fuel stations, including prices, while also features such as restaurants or other places of interest will be visible in virtual reality when wearing glasses.
Samsung's AR glasses will be synchronized with a map application on the smartphone or the vehicle's internal GPS. The concept in question shows features similar to the VR walking directions option when using the mobile version of Google Maps.
The idea of VR glasses with Samsung navigation indicator is not the first. In 2017, the Swiss WayRay company introduced the first holographic navigation system for cars named "Navion". Navion stands out as an augmented reality navigation system that allows the Driver to see navigation information and images that appear to be set off in the future using holographic projections.
