What is iPhone mirroring

iPhone mirroring in the context of CarPlay refers to the process of displaying the iPhone's user interface and content on the vehicle's display screens. This involves streaming video and audio content from the iPhone to the car's system, which then decodes and composes it for display. The next generation of CarPlay enhances this by supporting multiple displays and ensuring seamless transitions and animations across them.

Here are some key points from the session "Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture":

1. Remote UI: This brings a rich and familiar iPhone experience to the vehicle, including apps like Maps and audio, as well as features like tire pressure and trip information. It extends to any other display in the vehicle, bringing additional iPhone content such as media and climate controls (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).

2. Local UI: This shows driving-related gauges and indicators with low latency, responding to high-frequency car signals and being robust against Wi-Fi interference or disconnects (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).

3. UI Synchronization: The next generation of CarPlay uses a dedicated low latency channel called Uisync to ensure that UI elements transition smoothly across displays, maintaining frame-level synchronization (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).

4. Compositor: The system's compositor receives video streams from the iPhone as well as locally rendered UI, ensuring a unified output frame for display on each screen (Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture).
