Huawei has just unveiled its latest innovation at the Munich International Automobile Expo that is being held in Germany. It is the new AR HUD technology, which is an augmented reality based system that powers a heads up display that can turn a car’s front wind shield into a smart screen.
As per official notes, the new AR HUD technology will offer an informative and interactive heads up display for the car’s front windshield. For those unaware, a HUD is a common feature in military aircrafts like fighter jets in which crucial details like speed, altitude and other crucial information is displayed in front of the pilot. Now, the Chinese tech giant seeks to use an augmented reality based technology to offer a similar solution in future generation of automobiles. The brand believes that through this technology, carmakers would be able to integrate new technologies, safety, and entertainment together to create a new driving experience.
The Huawei AR HUD offers a large viewing angle of 13°x 5°, which is a 70 inch large display area that can cover up to 7.5 meters in the front. To keep the driver’s vision clutter free and without any distractions, the company built the related system in the lower area behind the steering wheel. The new AR HUD would be capable of offering navigation based information like route distance, information regarding the number of lanes in an upcoming road, and other crucial information like weather conditions.Furthermore, an interesting aspect of this technology could also be in the form of night vision or assistive vision during times of heavy rain, low light scenarios, or even fog.
This would ensure safety of the driver and the passengers as well. The company stated that the AR HUD will also feature a FHD display up to 100PPD and would not be hindered by issues like low brightness, low contrast, or image distortion that plagues a traditional HUD technology. In other words, it can also be used as an entertainment and multimedia tool, which offers video/movie streaming feature. Other interesting applications include the ability to offer three dimensional mapping system that offers information on parking lots, restaurants, shops, gas stations, and more in real time.
