Voxx Virtual Reality for Video Streaming Concept

Echo worked with Voxx to create a working prototype for CES 2017 to demonstrate a new innovative solution for streaming video content from the second row entertainment system to third-row passengers. This demo puts the users inside a 3D environment with the Voxx Family Entertainment System inside an accurate 360 model of a top-line vehicle. In the demo, users can see movies playing ahead of them on the FES monitors and can select to watch one of the movies by simply moving their head to align with the monitor of their choice. After hovering for a few seconds, the user will enter the video stream and the VR headset will now be playing the movie. The user will now be able to enjoy watching the movie from the conform of the third row, hands free!

Take a tour of the demo in the video below! Hit the play button and use your cursor to move around inside the 3D vehicle.
