Augmented Reality Platform

Merging Physical and Digital Worlds
Augmented Reality Platform
To provide a safer, more intuitive and interactive driving experience, the HARMAN Augmented Reality (AR) Platform merges the physical and digital worlds to create real-time, intelligent overlays onto the road surface without obstructing the driver’s view.

Improve Information Flow While On the Road


As ADAS and Navigation technologies evolve more and more and become standard features in new car models, one need is being addressed but creates another issue. Drivers must look at multiple screens (HUD, IVI, smartphone, etc.) to obtain traffic information and navigation guidance making the driver disconnected from the physical world in front of them.

Assimilating discontinuous display information requires a high cognitive effort that may contribute to a driver’s confusion and distraction, impacting the safety of all vehicle passengers and other vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

Ensuring Safety & Performance

Leveraging machine learning, HARMAN Augmented Reality Platform merges the physical and digital worlds by creating real-time intelligent overlays onto a road or map. It augments the driver’s field of view enabling a safer, more intuitive and more rewarding driving experience.
