Introduction idea 2
In 2015 Samsung released the first virtual
reality headset designed to transport users into another realm and change their
visual reality. The headset completely blocks out the outside world and
immerses the viewer in a new environment whether it is an unrealistic virtual
world or a hyper realistic form of a familiar place. A second similar version
of this technology called augmented reality has been created and perfected in
recent years. Augmented reality changed the visual field by either adding or
subtracting from it but does not completely change the visual field of the
user. In the wake of this new technology, BMW motor company has released a line
of concept designs for their centennial year aptly labeled the Vision 100
series. There are two vehicles created for this design one a car, and the other
a motorcycle. Aside from the obvious physical differences in the designs
compared to past versions, both vehicles will feature augmented reality
technology. Their first design in this direction starts with goggles designed
for driving with the Mini. BMW then brought the goggle concept over to their
Vision 100 Motorrad motorcycle which are designed to help navigate the user as
well as project important road information and show them what is around them.
The Vision 100 car will feature a completely augmented reality dashboard, one
of the first to be designed. This technology is rapidly evolving and shaping
the way we live our lives. To better understand the future of this technology
we must to look to history of it and how it was designed
