Tomtom is navigating the future: Using gaming techniques for automotive maps
TomTom is combining cartography and geospatial technology with Unity’s real-time 3D rendering techniques to elevate automotive navigation and HMI experiences to new heights of customization, interactivity, and visual appeal.
Discover:
- TomTom’s custom online map integration prototype that renders real-time maps using live data, enabling dynamic interactions and navigation features without the need for pre-installed assets.
- How TomTom overcame hardware limitations, like mid-range CPU and memory constraints in vehicles, to deliver seamless, high-quality map rendering.
- How Unity’s quick iteration and testing speeds enabled real-time feedback loops, allowing designers and engineers to collaborate more efficiently and reduce development time.
This workshop was recorded at Unite 2024.
“The Unity Engine provided us with tools that allowed us to work a lot faster and empower our developers and designers in ways that just haven't been possible with proprietary stacks.”
