Future Developments
Model improvements
- interior materials research
- multiple camera views for all passenger positions
- continue model size optimization (current models already have the same download time as the 2D 360° views that some use
Increasing interactivity
- interactive console buttons
- make radio play radio stations trough the Internet
- click to open console bay, gear shifting
- start engine with sounds
Linking 3DCar to existing multimedia
We plan to add the "fly to.." feature to the options visible in the 3D View (by clicking on the eye icon). Also, by clicking on the camera icon the user can watch existing movies about the option (in the example, about the Intelligent Light System). The idea is illustrated in the left-side picture.
Future technologies research
- keeping track of new technologies
- we have access to people with experience in Virtual Reality tools and environments (VR helmets, caves, haptic devices) and we will be able to make more complex VR implementations when the time comes
