Imagine your car's windshield acting like a giant, clear screen that puts navigation arrows and warnings right on the road 50 meters ahead of you. Instead of looking down at a phone or a small dashboard screen, the information floats in your line of sight. It uses special nano-materials and light-bending tricks to keep the image sharp and bright even in sunny weather.
Current AR HUDs fail to meet automotive industrialization and optical performance standards. This leads to poor visibility in bright light and driver distraction, contributing to high accident rates.
A compact optical engine using diffractive nano materials, ECE R43 compliant windscreen coatings, and a real-time ARM-based software kernel for sensor communication.
If you are a car manufacturer dealing with driver distraction and safety ratings — this project developed a compact AR HUD that projects a virtual screen up to 50m in front of the driver. This reduces the need for drivers to look away from the road, addressing the issue where 1 driver is killed every 40s due to smartphone use.
If you are a glass producer dealing with ghost images and poor color rendering in HUDs — this project developed windscreen coatings compliant with ECE R43 regulations. These treatments ensure compatibility with polarized glasses and improve visual clarity for the end user.
If you are a software provider dealing with lag between vehicle sensors and visual displays — this project developed a customized ARM architecture kernel. This allows the AR display to communicate in real-time with vehicle sensors for accurate object identification.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not disclosed.
The project focuses on meeting industrialization requirements and has developed coatings compliant with ECE R43 regulations to facilitate automotive adoption.
The technology is described as patent-protected, specifically regarding the optimization of light properties through polarized light guides and diffractive nano materials.
The project developed windscreen coatings that are compliant with ECE R43 regulations.
Integration is achieved via a customized kernel on ARM architecture that communicates in real-time with the vehicle's sensors.
The project is led by a single SME, EyeLights, based in France. The 100% industry ratio indicates a strong commercial drive, with direct collaboration with AGC for glass coatings, suggesting a lean, execution-focused approach rather than an academic one.
