In Augmented Reality News
August 14, 2025 – Basemark, a provider of automotive augmented reality (AR) software solutions, has recently announced the launch of Rocksolid AR Studio version 25.3, the latest update to its low-code AR development platform for in-vehicle applications. The new release introduces enhanced capabilities designed to improve performance, flexibility, and integration for automotive OEMs and other industries.
Basemark develops AR software that enables OEMs to design and deploy advanced AR experiences for heads-up displays (HUDs), instrument clusters, infotainment systems, and other in-vehicle screens. Its flagship solution, Rocksolid AR, is used to create applications that enhance situational awareness and driver safety through features such as AR navigation, lane guidance, collision warnings, and other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) visualizations.
With this latest update, Basemark has expanded its Rocksolid AR Studio development tool, part of the broader Rocksolid AR platform, with new integrations, display options, and workflow improvements designed to streamline AR application development.
New features in Rocksolid AR Studio 25.3 include:
-
Gemini AI and Google Maps integrations: Developers can now access Gemini AI and Google Maps support directly within Rocksolid AR Studio as prebuilt, plug-and-play components, whether building an AI assistant or location-aware features.
-
Multi-display experience with Virtual Cockpit: A new Virtual Cockpit feature enables seamless AR experiences across multiple in-vehicle displays—including AR HUDs, clusters, infotainment systems, and e-mirrors—within a single integrated environment, with real-time simulation to design, test, and optimize cohesive, production-ready applications.
-
Custom module creation in C++: Custom functionality can now be developed in C++ and integrated directly into Rocksolid AR Studio as reusable modules. Built on the new Unified API, this allows scalable, consistent logic across both Studio and C++ environments.
-
Updated scheduling system: An improved scheduler keeps workflows running smoothly when handling complex algorithms or unpredictable network conditions, minimizing freezes and slowdowns during development.
-
Android Automotive support: Version 25.3 adds Android 14 support, allowing teams to build automotive‑grade UIs that integrate with vehicle data and touch screen events directly from a Studio project.
“We’re seeing strong momentum for automotive AR and are now applying our technology to other sectors with similar requirements for robust, mission-critical visual computing, such as defense, field operations, and manufacturing,” said Tero Sarkkinen, Founder and CEO of Basemark. “With this latest update to Rocksolid AR Studio, we’re enhancing in-vehicle applications with AI, mapping, and multi-display capabilities to deliver key information to drivers exactly when and where it’s needed.”
