Events: iOnRoad - Augmented Reality Driving Assistant

pocketgpsworld.com
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. For the drivers amongst us, a novel solutions which makes great use of Augmented Reality (AR) is iOnRoad.

Its claim to fame is the use of AR to provide advance warning of a collision. I confess that, initially, I was rather dubious that the app could work but a road test proved it was every bit as clever as its authors claimed.

iOnRoad uses the on-board camera in your smartphone to identify vehicles in the lane ahead of you. It constantly measures the gap between you and the vehicles ahead and alerts if that gap becomes too small. The gap is coloured green when you are following at a safe distance but turns red and provides an audible warning if you allow the gap to become to small.

Not only is iOnRoad an incredibly clever demonstration of the technology, it’s a useful safety tool and can help educate you to drive more safely and to leave that important safety gap between you and vehicles ahead.

Available now as a free app on Android and coming soon to iOS. For more information see the iONRoad web site at www.ionroad.com.
