Rocksolid AR SDK, a full suite of software development tools and runtime systems for the development of automotive in-cockpit AR applications.
AR applications can increase the accuracy and safety of navigation and enhance vehicle safety and ADAS features, such as lane departure warnings. In addition, augmented reality-powered applications can help the driver with vehicle interaction and be more aware of their surroundings as drivers get instant information on the surrounding environment and road conditions.
The Rocksolid AR SDK can be used as a standalone component integrated into existing automotive software and electronics architecture or as an integral part of the Rocksolid Core automotive OS and architecture by Basemark.
The solution supports both OpenGL ES and Vulkan APIs, providing options for the customer to deploy the AR applications on a wide variety of different processors. This is important for car manufacturers as, due to chip shortages, they need to be flexible on which chips they choose to build various different car models.
With Basemark’s long pedigree in Vulkan-based graphics, the efficiency of processing is customarily more than two times better than with OpenGL ES, resulting in smaller power consumption and hence longer range for EVs.
