Futuristic AR Windows

These Augmented Reality Windows Would Act as an Entertainment Experience

— March 15, 2016 — Tech
As part of this year's SXSW festivities, Hyperloop debuted its new augmented reality windows. While the company has already made headlines for its futuristic transportation system, now it is upping the ante by adding augmented reality to the experience.

The augmented reality windows concept was debuted by Hyperloop Transportation Technologies CEO Dirk Alhborn during a talk at SXSW. The 'Augmented Windows' would allow users to view the world outside, as well as other visual information. This would be done through the use of head-tracking technology, which would manipulate each image based on where the user is looking. Such a system would allow the windows to function as an entertainment system and possible advertising platform.

Although the company has teased similar technology in the past, it seems that the Augmented Windows are indeed in the works.
Trend Themes
1. Augmented Reality Integration - The trend of integrating augmented reality into existing systems allows for enhanced user experiences and opens up opportunities for new forms of entertainment and advertising.
2. Head-tracking Technology - The trend of using head-tracking technology to manipulate images and provide personalized visual information creates immersive and interactive experiences for users.
3. Transportation Innovation - The trend of incorporating innovative technologies, such as augmented reality, into transportation systems offers unique opportunities to enhance the travel experience and provide additional entertainment services.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can explore the use of augmented reality windows to offer immersive and interactive experiences for users, combining real-world views with virtual information.
2. Advertising - The advertising industry can utilize augmented reality windows as a new platform for targeted and interactive advertising, leveraging personalized visual information that responds to users' gaze.
3. Transportation - The transportation industry can leverage augmented reality windows to transform the travel experience by providing passengers with real-time information, entertainment, and advertising as they look out of the windows.
