Perigon HD uses a simple [rear-facing camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddpai-z90-master) that connects to a [digital display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttingedge-display-technologies) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **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. - **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. - **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. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with car manufacturers to integrate digital rear view mirrors as a standard feature in future vehicle models. - **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. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Truck-Specific Driver Assistance Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driver-assistance-system.md) - [Blind Spot Alert Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-spot-alert.md) - [High-Definition Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdefinition-dash-cam.md) - [Dual-Direction Rearview Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolfbox-g900.md) - [720-Degree Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panoramic-dash-cam.md) - [Collision Avoidance Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minieye-dash-cam.md) - [Vehicle Intelligence-Focused Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-intelligence.md) - [Autonomous Rear Safety Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collision-prevention-system.md) - [Immersive AR Automotive HUDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harman-ready-vision-augmented-reality.md)
