Digital rear view mirrors with Augmented Reality in comparison with traditional rear-view mirrors

Paper in proceeding, 2024

Recently, the traditional rear and side view mirrors have been started to be exchanged with a digital version. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in driving performance between traditional rear-view mirrors and digital rear view mirrors which is called Camera Monitor System (CMS) in the vehicle industry. Here, two different types were investigated: CMS without or with Augmented Reality (AR) Information. The user test was conducted in a virtual environment, with four driving scenarios defined for testing. The user test results revealed that the participants' driving performance using CMS (only cameras and 2D displays without augmented information) did not improve over traditional mirrors.
