Hyundai’s augmented reality manual: A simple but extremely good idea

LAS VEGAS—If you kept a look out for it, you could find a few examples of augmented reality on display at CES this year. There were concept cars with AR heads-up displays (JVC Kenwood and McLaren Automotive had a modified 675LT with such a system), but little of it was production-ready. That’s not the case with Hyundai’s new virtual owner’s manual.

We first got a look at the augmented reality owner’s manual at last year’s LA Auto Show, but since Hyundai had a demonstration set up at CES this week, we thought we’d show you a closer look at it. It runs on a smartphone or tablet (both Android and iOS), and uses the in-built camera to recognize different components in the car (under the hood, in the trunk, and inside the cabin). It then overlays labels explaining what you’re seeing, with tutorials you can use to show you how to check your oil and so on.
