Vizualogic Unveils New Headrest With Android Operating System
It may look like any other industrial space in the neigh- borhood, but something exciting is happening inside. From their corporate headquarters in Corona, California, TMI’s Vizualogic brand is ramping up for an exciting new launch at this year’s SEMA Show. With new products and a new look, Vizualogic is poised to make a breakthrough in the automotive entertainment field. Vizualogic got their start in rear-seat entertainment in 1999 with TMI’s Back Seat Theater, a flip-down roof mounted display with a remote VHS player. The product was a hit, and the brand grew exponentially with TMI’s move to a larger facility in 2001. TMI’s experience in matching OEM interiors for custom cars quickly led to the creation of their headrest entertainment line. By inte- grating high-quality screens into a headrest that perfectly matched the vehicle’s OEM upholstery, they expanded into a whole new field. That history of innovation has led to a formidable prod- uct lineup. Vizualogic’s line of headrests feature dual DVD players, USB and SD card connections, wireless head- phones and industry-leading high-resolution glare-free screens with impressive viewing angles. Each screen is carefully fitted in a handmade headrest that is matched to a specific car, ensuring an OEM fit and finish. Once they’re installed, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the car didn’t come that way from the factory. If in-headrest video isn’t your thing, Vizualogic has you covered. They offer a variety
of roof-mounted flip down monitors, which feature a larger screen the whole family can enjoy. For smaller cars, their Roadtrip Elite center-console display is the perfect fit. It features an 8-in. screen that can easily be viewed by rear-seat passengers, and it folds away when not in use to save space. They also have a universal post-mounted sys- tem that features dual 9-in. screens. Vizualogic has some exciting products for the driver too: they offer a rear-view mirror with an integrated GPS screen and hands-free Bluetooth connection to your mobile phone. The Blue- Logic system integrates any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone with the car’s audio system. The system allows music streaming and voice calls from mobile phones, and automatically mutes the radio when a call is in progress. Their newest product is the Hindsight Flip, a small motor- ized screen connected to a rear-view camera. The screen folds out when the car is in reverse to assist the driver with blind spots behind the car, and stows itself away once you shift back into drive. Despite their success with their current product line,
Vizualogic isn’t going to rest on their laurels. “We’ve always stayed on the cutting edge,” said Marketing Director Aaron Lyle, “and we’re really excited about what we have coming up this year. With more and more people living in a digitally connected world, we think the time is right to integrate that technology into what we do.” Vizualogic will unveil their latest product at the SEMA Show in October:
a new headrest featuring the Android operating system. Android is a full-fledged mobile operating system that many users are already familiar with from their smart- phones and tablets. Passengers would be able to browse the Internet, check e-mail, play games and much more, in addition to enjoying their favorite songs and movies. Lyle explained, “When Vizualogic started, the VHS was all the rage. Since then we’ve added DVD and digital video files. Now we’re able to offer something that’s leaps and bounds beyond audio and video.” Vizualogic is launching a whole new theme to go with
this year’s exciting new products. Of course they’ll be showing off their range of in-headrest entertainment, including products for plenty of the hottest ’13 vehicles. They’ll have a bigger, re-designed booth with a whole new look and demos of all their products. The most exciting feature will be their new Android product, though. As Lyle explained, “Our team is really pumped up for the Show this year. Android is huge, and what we can do with it is very exciting. It’s going to change rear-seat entertainment as we know it.” Come check out Vizualogic’s booth #11745 at this year’s SEMA Show.
