Dynamic Rear View Mirrors

This Digital Technology Can Replace Traditional Rear View Mirrors

— July 6, 2016 — Autos
With things like lane assist, blind spot detection and rear view cameras, technology is making driving new cars safer than ever before -- but older vehicles can still be saved with the digital mirrors from Perigon HD. Perigon HD uses a simple rear-facing camera that connects to a digital display clipped to any car's normal rear view mirror. Adapting technology originally used in race cars, Perigon HD's digital mirrors provide up to four times the visibility when compared to traditional rear view mirrors.

The technology may sound complex, but it can be installed at home, without a technician in as little as five minutes. With glare- and mist-resistant cameras, HD resolution and real-time image output, these digital mirrors promise a safer experience for drivers of any vehicle.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Rear View Mirrors - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced digital rear view mirrors with enhanced features such as augmented reality displays for a safer and more immersive driving experience.
2. Home Installation Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create user-friendly, DIY home installation kits for various automotive technologies, allowing consumers to upgrade their older vehicles with ease.
3. High-definition Camera Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-definition camera technology that can be applied not only to car mirrors but also to other areas of automotive safety, such as blind spot detection systems.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with car manufacturers to integrate digital rear view mirrors as a standard feature in future vehicle models.
2. Automotive Aftermarket - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a market for retrofitting digital rear view mirrors in older vehicles, catering to consumers who want to upgrade their safety features without purchasing a new car.
3. Camera Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with camera technology companies to develop advanced camera systems for a wide range of applications beyond rear view mirrors, such as security systems or sports cameras.
