Case of Glasses-Free 3D Display Applied to Vehicle Infotainment Systems

Overview

• Customer: Mobase (Korea)
• Industry: Automotive / Vehicle Infotainment / HMI System
• Solution: 8.9-inch automotive glasses-free 3D display and Unity-based 3D SDK
• Key Result:
  - Implementation of 3D UI/UX in a vehicle infotainment system
  - Stereoscopic visualization of maps, menus, and media content
  - Enhanced immersive digital experience for vehicle passengers

1. Background and Challenge

In recent years, demand for immersive UX/UI experiences inside vehicles has increased rapidly beyond simple information display. However, conventional infotainment systems based on flat (2D) displays have limitations in expressing visual depth and making differentiated user interfaces. Because of this, the automotive industry has been increasingly interested in 3D-based UI technology that can be applied to vehicle displays.

2. MOPIC’s Solution

Mobase applied MOPIC’s glasses-free 3D display module and 3D SDK to its vehicle infotainment system.

3D Display Optimized for Vehicle Infotainment Environment

• 3D optical design considering passenger seating positions
• Eye-tracking based 3D display aligned with passenger viewing position
• 3D interface suitable for navigation, infotainment functions, and media content

Unity-based 3D SDK Integration

Using MOPIC’s Unity-based 3D SDK, 3D functions were added on top of the existing 2D UI system.

• 3D map display
• UI animation using depth effects
• Stereoscopic media content playback

Through this, real-time interaction and immersive UI can be implemented within a Unity development environment.

3. Results and Value

Improved Vehicle Infotainment Experience

With the 3D-based interface, passengers can experience more intuitive and immersive infotainment services.

Differentiated Premium Vehicle UX

3D UI/UX helps differentiate the in-vehicle digital experience and strengthens the premium brand image.

Potential for Future Service Expansion

The 3D map and content-based interface creates opportunities to expand into various services and subscription content models in the future.

Customer Interview

Vehicle infotainment systems are not just about displaying information but are a key factor that determines the user experience. Through MOPIC’s glasses-free 3D display and SDK, we were able to expand our existing UI system and create a more immersive interface.
