HTTP:: Holographic HUD for Rear View Mirrors
--------
Some modern cars have been endowed with Heads-Up Displays (HUD) over recent years, namely systems that project useful information about a car directly on the interior of the front car window. This means that drivers no longer have to take their eyes off the road, in order to get a clue of how fast they are going, how much gas they have left in the tank, and so on. But this technology has thus far only been used in expensive cars. Researchers have now created a holographic HUD, which can be projected on rear mirrors. Because they have a smaller surface to cover, the HUD systems are a lot less cheaper, while at the same time maintaining their functionality. The compact projection device fits inside an average rear-view mirror. “We can make an HUD so small you can put it into a rear-view mirror or wing mirror,†Edward Buckley says. He is the head of business development at Light Blue Optics, the manufacturer of the new system. The company is based in Cambridge, the United!
Kingdom. The prototype system was able to project an image through a two-way wing mirror, creating the illusion that the actual image is some 2.5 meters away. The holographic projection appears to be superimposed on the reflected road scene, and only a narrow perspective hints that the image is actually formed from the mirror, and does...
