What They Say
CY Vision said that it is working together with BMW on the development of holography-based windshield AR displays and was showing the technology at CES this week. The firm said that it uses off-the-shelf processors to generate these displays in real time on standard optical hardware without requiring special films or waveguides.
Features are said to include:
- True 3D capability that perceives all visual depth cues. With binocular disparity and full motion parallax, 3D AR-HUD delivers unique 3D holographic images in full color from bright sunlight to dark stormy conditions.
- Only AR display that can place multiple virtual objects from near eye to infinity. Delivers a fully immersive experience by supporting any number of simultaneous virtual objects ranging in distance from near-eye to infinity.
- Computer-generated, real-time hologram that mimics human vision. Optical advances in eye-tracking that dynamically adapts to drivers’ seat, head and visual perception demands, enabling drivers to see objects at any distance in a unique depth in real time.
- Largest field of view in augmented display. 100 percent larger FOV than current industry standards.
- Performance under all lighting. From irregular rain backgrounds to bright sunlight or snow with over 10000 nits at the eye.
What We Think
I managed to get a message to Ken as he was heading around the show floor and his initial feedback was that the CY Vision demo was ‘very impressive’. (BR)
