Apostera’s augmented reality and mixed reality software applications will help HARMAN expand its automotive product offerings and establish itself as a leading automotive AR and MR experience design facilitator.

“HARMAN is dedicated to delivering in-car experiences with the speed and flexibility of consumer technology together with the reliability and performance of automotive-grade solutions,” said Christian Sobottka, President, Automotive Division, HARMAN.
