The Audi activesphere concept - Audi dimensions - between worlds

Crossing borders is the strength of the Audi activesphere concept - this also applies to the interface between automobile, user and environment. For the first time, the new system flushly combines physical reality and the digital sphere to create a new world: Audi dimensions is the name of the technology. At the heart of the new system are innovative mixed reality glasses - available individually for each driver/passenger at their place in the car. Users also have access to a comprehensive digital ecosystem while in the Audi activesphere. In the early days, VR goggles were limited to displaying an artificial, "virtual" reality without involving the real world. Later, however, the technology evolved into "augmented reality," in which the real world is overlaid with virtual content. Mixed reality - and this is the next step - is now able to depict virtual content with a spatial reference to the real world in three dimensions. There's no question about it: in the future, Mixed Reality will take the possibilities of AR head-up displays to a new level in terms of flexibility, precision and displayable content. In concrete terms, Mixed Reality means that the Audi activesphere concept is the first to use a pioneering generation of this technology, which adds the dimension of interaction to Augmented Reality. With unprecedented optical precision, maximum resolution and excellent contrast, the system can bring control surfaces and displays into the field of vision of the glasses user behind the steering wheel that are not visible to the unaided eye.
