An augmented tour
No need to waste time figuring out basic controls: the IVO mobile app welcomes new drivers with an AR onboarding tour. It guides the user through the car salon with a showcase of all the vehicle's main features.
One can also explore the vehicle at their own pace by pointing the device camera at any part of the salon – the steering wheel, the handbrake button, climate control buttons, etc. They will then get a pop-up with a short rundown of how that element works.
While the AR tour provides the most essential information, there's always the option to delve a bit deeper.
Drivers can get a more detailed overview of each function in the app's text-based guide. It's a more user-friendly alternative to the typical owner's manual, with illustrations and simple yet informative descriptions.
HMI App
The HMI application comes packed with a guided tour,
a simplified manual, and an ML-powered voice assistant.
The voice assistant delivers contextual clues to
the driver over the course of the trip, based on the state of the vehicle, the environment around it, and the driver’s behaviour. It's also ready to answer whatever questions you may have about the car. Simply ask,
"Hey, IVO, how do I do this?" or "Hey, IVO, what does this signal mean?"
Contextual tips
There's always a risk of confusing or even putting the driver in danger when an unfamiliar feature activates mid-journey. IVO alleviates that with immediate contextual clues.
The voice assistant will provide a quick explanation whenever a driver encounters a situation where a certain function could be useful or when a feature activates automatically for the first time.
A grand reveal
The Bamboo Apps team has successfully developed a demo of the IVO system. The software was presented for the first time at GITEX 2022, 10-14 Oct.
