Thinkware to showcase Augmented Reality navigation device at CES

A big player in the dash cam market, Thinkware, has announced its attendance at CES 2020 in January and will be showing off some of its exciting dash cam products and new Augmented Reality solutions at the big electronics event.

Dash cams are becoming one of the latest must have pieces of tech for your car as they help lower insurance premiums and in the unfortunate event of a collision, they can help prove who was at fault. Thinkware has taken its years of experience in the dash cam market and is finding new ways to use the technology.

Thinkware will be showcasing one of these new ideas at CES, the company will have a demo of its new Augmented Reality navigation solution on hand at the event in Las Vegas. The new device comes equipped with a heads-up display and uses the latest local map data to ensure drivers are safe and informed. The Augmented Reality navigation device also features an advanced user interface and a library-type solution that uses maps of locations around the world, while game engines can display AVN, CLUSTER, HUD and other information on the device.

Specific details about the new Augmented Reality solution are a little sparse, no doubt more in-depth information will be unveiled CES. In addition to this new Augmented Reality solution, Thinkware will be showcasing other new dash cam products at CES including:

  • U1000: THINKWARE’s first dash cam that features strikingly clear 4K resolution and boasts a comprehensive driver-assistance warning system.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
