we're here on the eve of the LA Auto
Show at the connected car expo where
hyundai has a new feature for its Car
Care Act it's an Augmented Reality
owners manual and if you own a 2015
Sonata or plan to buy a new Hyundai soon
you're gonna want to check this out now
owners manuals on devices are nothing
new a lot of cars do that but hyundais
actually takes the camera on your device
and use it to depict in real time what
you're showing the camera around the car
and what to do with it so we have a beta
version of the feature here on the card
carry out this is on an Android device
you start by setting up particularly
which car you have in terms of trim
package features options things like
that then you go to this AAR manual area
that stands for augmented reality manual
which allows you to look at various
versions of various areas of the car and
then tap on them so let's start by
popping the hood and looking at engine
you right here so there's a little bit
of a loading screen tells you just about
how far you're supposed to stand from
the car once you get through that it
actually then shows you everything under
the hood and exactly what you're looking
at all the way from engine oil to
coolant to air filter and if you want to
do anything in particular let's say
check your washer fluid levels it
actually pops up a step-by-step
animation here completely overlaid on
the area where it is on how to exactly
go about doing that now the cool thing
here it resets pretty quickly in this
Beta version so let's say you drop your
phone accidentally you pick it back up
it just takes a few seconds and
everything is finally back up there on
the screen
some of these activities actually do
require two hands so obviously like
changing the air filter taken out the
clip stuff like that so if you do need
to actually put your phone down while
you do that it continues through sort of
a static animation here that you can
then basically go through step by step
as you're changing the filter pretty
similar interface on the inside of the
car lots of popups year's show you kind
of what you're looking at it can you to
learn how to you know reset the clock
carrier phone with Bluetooth audio some
of these will actually send you to a
youtube video that shows you exactly how
to do that essentially just a short cut
the white hyundai has already posted
online a few cool things about this it's
free
you don't have to own a Hyundai to
actually get it let's say you're renting
a Hyundai you can download the app for
you know it's not or something and
figure out how to pair your phone with
Bluetooth and it doesn't actually
replace the real owners manual that
actually still comes in the car you can
go old school and learned a lot more if
you want a hundred tells us the
Augmented Reality functionality with a
car crap will be rolling out for iOS and
Android phones by the end of 2015 for
the 2015 Sonata other cars will follow
soon thereafter so stay tuned
