Exploring Mixed Reality Window Concept for Car Passengers

Abstract

Due to their large window surfaces and mobile use, cars offer an interesting domain for mixed reality applications. By utilizing the windows as see-through displays, there is a possibility to enhance the physical landscape with location-specific information. In this paper we describe our work-in-progress research exploring the concept of mixed reality user interfaces for cars, focusing on passenger use cases, communication and social nature of the use. In this workshop paper, we present our motivation and an early prototype of the concept.
