Unity and HERE Collaborate On Real-Time 3D In-Vehicle Experiences

Unity, a platform for creating and operating real-time 3D (RT3D) content, announced a collaborative agreement with HERE Technologies, the location data and technology platform, to partner on developing next generation embedded automotive HMIs with state-of-the-art, RT3D rendering capabilities. The collaboration will also extend to work on next-generation location technology for autonomous driving, simulations, city planning and digital twins. To showcase the combined capabilities of Unity’s real-time 3D platform and HERE’s location technology, the partners developed a proof-of-concept application of an embedded in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI) system. Created on Unity’s platform and featuring HERE 3D city data, it showcases a futuristic, wide-screen navigation experience of a 3D map of San Francisco and demonstrates what can be achieved with the addition of game-changing HMI workflow design improvements. www.here.com
