Can holograms improve Hyundai's infotainment?
Hyundai is banking that their new holographic windscreen technology could change the way HUDs work in cars
A head-up display, or HUD, isn’t new technology by any means. They’ve been in planes for pilots and cars for commuters since the 1980s and even before. They’re usually a great way to transpose critical information from the dash and put it directly into the line of sight of the driver/operator without disrupting their view of the way ahead. The result of bringing this technology into automobiles has been something of a mixed bag. No performance car needs a G-meter projected into the driver's field of view, but having useful information like navigation directions directly in the line of sight is a game-changer. Hyundai is looking to take that technology and make it new once more.
Hyundai has a unique twist on the head-up display
The company’s Hyundai Mobis arm, which handles parts production for Hyundai Motor, introduced what it calls a "Holographic Windshield Display (HWD)." This new method of displaying information on the windshield differs from traditional automotive HUDs because it does not use a reflector. Instead, the information is directly projected onto the glass with brighter, more colorful images—something traditional HUDs have struggled with. Read more and see more...
