Remember the movie Hancock and the glasses worn by Will Smith? The British car manufacturer MINI will provide additional safety and comfort for drivers and passengers with glasses of a similar design, as at the Shanghai Motor Show it presented the concept of MINI smart glasses for displaying augmented reality Augmented Vision, which, in a similar way to the one already presented by Google Glass, with a screen at eye level and with relevant information improves and enriches driving.
MINI Augmented Vision are smart glasses for displaying augmented reality that to the driver they display useful information in his field of vision, most of the time right above the steering wheel, but clearly without obstructing the driving of other drivers. The driver is provided with navigation, they offer parking assistance, show mileage, speed and speed limits, and stock it with notifications about what's happening on the connected smartphone. In addition, these analog glasses with touch control also help to find parking spaces (marking empty ones), as well as with directional arrows and signs to inform us when/if we pass trivia.

They also have MINI Augmented Vision x-ray view, which allows us to see through the car, i.e. also through parts (doors, pillars, etc.) that the car's shell to the naked eye it obscures. Thus, except on the account of negligence, we can no longer overlook any low-placed stake or pawn. The glasses are not entirely the work of the island's MINI. He made the design BMW or their design house DesignworksUSA, and part of technology is knowledge Qualcomm.
