Advent of connectivity technological advancements
The rise in penetration of Internet of Things (IoT) in automotive supports faster connectivity for more intuitive visualization and interaction. Also, many companies are developing smart AR glasses with a Qualcomm collaboration that features the multimode connectivity (4G, 5G), eye tracking cameras, and optics & projection technology within semitransparent display. There is an increase in the demand for 5G networks in automotive as it enables high speed data transfer with lower latency and improves traffic capacity & network efficiency. Moreover, these 4G and 5G networks are expected to enable VR devices to offload computational work besides increasing the fidelity of VR experiences. Thus, such application based technological advancements in automotive boost the growth of the automotive AR and VR market.
High need of augmented and virtual reality in automotive
In the past, augmented and virtual reality has gained huge popularity and adoption among various end-user industries, such as digital manufacturing, media & entertainment, education, healthcare, defense & security, and civil aviation.
Nowadays, end-user organizations are inclined toward deploying augmented and virtual reality based solutions in automotive field for design & assembly and repair & maintenance. Moreover, this technology helps assist designers in visualizing the body structure of a vehicle, as to improve efficiency, safety, and durability. Furthermore, safety at assembly line is increased by tracking human movement to decrease the risk of injury. In addition, augmented reality helps manufacturers with the overall design process. The AR and VR technology assists designers in visualizing the body structure of a vehicle to improve efficiency, safety, and durability. Many key players in the automotive industry implement the AR and VR systems in their vehicles. For instance, continentals has started offering AR-HUD unit that includes sensors, cameras, and GPS and supports all high-end features with the base of AR and VR. Thus, such high demand of AR and VR in automotive fuels the growth of the automotive AR and VR market.
Serious threats to the physical and emotional wellbeing of the end-users
People using virtual reality have faced eye strain, headaches, and in some cases, nausea. Various experts in AR and VR also said that it is due to the way VR affects the eye-brain connection. Furthermore, a certain percentage of users have experienced motion sickness, anxiety, and severe eyestrain after using VR headsets for a prolonged period. The AR and VR technology disconnects the users from the real environment. This results in retinal radiation, which may be a potential cause for eye cancer. Such drastic causes of AR and VR units if not addressed properly act as an inhibitor and affect the adoption rate of virtual reality or augmented reality technologies. Thus, health concerns restrain the growth of the automotive augmented reality and virtual reality market.
High Dependence on Internet Connectivity
There is an increase in the number of applications in automotive specially related to infotainment and cockpits control system. These applications do not run on slow internet connectivity. Moreover, indications of traffic, lane detection, and other features need improved internet connection. In addition, under developed countries, especially Africa, are unable to adopt augmented and virtual reality technology owing to lack of infrastructure support for fast internet connection. Also, some countries such as Eritrea, Burundi, Chad, Somalia, and others, have low penetration of internet. Therefore, this high dependency on internet hampers the growth of the automotive AR and VR market globally.
Formation of mixed reality (MR) from integration of AR and VR
Formation of mixed reality (MR) from integration of AR and VR offers immense growth opportunities to players in the automotive augmented reality and virtual reality market. Holographic projections and interactive virtual display garner increased focus in automotive field. In addition, MR allows engineers to wear special headsets through which they can view the holographic image of the engine, and with various image and voice features can understand the engine in-depth and make changes accordingly. Such simulation based leaning is expected to create an opportunity for the growth of the automotive AR and VR market in future.
Development of HUD system to enhance safety
Augmented and virtual reality technology is currently being used to supplement safety features in vehicles. Furthermore, in May 2017, Continental introduced a prototype AR-HUD system for assisting drivers that works by displaying actionable data and images on the vehicle's windshield. The AR and VR technology is used in automotive to support the features such as turn-by-turn route navigation, safety distance monitoring, lane-departure warning (LDW), and adaptive cruise control (ACC). Moreover, in application, the driver can see blinking arrows when the system senses an upcoming turn during navigation with an interactive image. Thus, the innovations in development of HUD system to enhance safety in automotive applications boosts the growth of the automotive AR and VR market.
